If you have phpMySql, take a look at the file:
/mysqladmin/tbl_properties.php
That code is doing something to return the type of the field. It's a
little hard to follow so I don't know exactly how he's doing it and
unfortunately, didn't have the time to decipher. :p However, I'm
sure if you sat down with it for a while, you'd figure out how he
did it.
