Example 1. A mysql_field_table() example

<?php
$result
= mysql_query("SELECT name,comment FROM people,comments");
if (!
$result) {
    echo
'Could not run query: ' . mysql_error();

$table = mysql_field_table($result, 'name');
echo
$table; // people

For downward compatibility mysql_fieldtable() can also be used. This is deprecated, however.
