note 17573 added to function.mysql-field-flags

mysql_field_flags() seems useless. After much time lost tinkering with it, I finally got what I needed (field type) with the following: $result=mysql_query("show columns from tablename like 'columnname'"); $object=mysql_fetch_object($result); echo $object->Type; Pardon my ignorance, but what excactly is mysql_field_flags _supposed_ to do again??? All it ever did for me was "not_null" no matter what I tried. -David Rose -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-field-flags.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+17573 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+17573 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+17573
