Better late then never! :) I played around with your code tonight and got this working on a test server: <?PHP $db_billing = mysql_connect($DBHOST, $DBUSER, $DBPASS) or die("Could not connect: " .mysql_error()); $db_selected = mysql_select_db($DB, $db_billing);
       if(!$db_selected) {
               die("Can't use database: " . mysql_error());
       }
if (!$db_billing) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); }
       $sql = "SHOW TABLES";
       $result = mysql_query($sql) or die("query failed: " .mysql_error());
       $resulttest = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
       foreach($resulttest as $k => $v) { //line 62
       $ssql = "DESCRIBE ".mysql_real_escape_string($v);
       $rresult = mysql_query($ssql);
       echo "<b>".$k."</b>:<br />\n";
       echo "<pre>\n";
       print_r(mysql_fetch_assoc($rresult));
       echo "</pre>\n";
       echo "<br />\n";
       }
?> The only big difference from what you had is that I moved the mysql_fetch_assoc($result); into a separate line rather then running it from the foreach... Let me know if that helps.
Thanks Jason :-) What you just offered just shows info about only the first column in the table. I got this working to show info about all the columns in the table: $ssql = "DESCRIBE billing_table"; $rresult = mysql_query($ssql); echo "<hr /><pre>\n"; while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($rresult)) { print_r($row); //line 278 } echo "</pre>\n"; echo "<hr />\n"; -G
