$query = "SELECT Name, SurfaceArea from Country ORDER BY Code";
if ($result = maxdb_query($link, $query)) {
/* Get field information for 2nd column */ maxdb_field_seek($result, 1); $finfo = maxdb_fetch_field($result); printf("Name: %s\n", $finfo->name); printf("max. Len: %d\n", $finfo->max_length); printf("Type: %d\n\n", $finfo->type);
maxdb_free_result($result); }
/* close connection */ maxdb_close($link); ?>
