maxdb_fetch_fields - Returns an array of resources representing the fields in a result set

       Procedural style

SYNOPSIS
       mixed maxdb_fetch_fields (resource  $result)

DESCRIPTION
       Object oriented style
       mixed maxdb_result::fetch_fields (void  )

	This  function	serves an identical purpose to the maxdb_fetch_field(3) function with the single difference that, instead of returning one
       resource at a time for each field, the columns are returned as an array of resources.

RETURN VALUES
	Returns an array of resources which contains field definition information or FALSE if no field information is available.

EXAMPLES
       Example #1

	      Object oriented style

	      <?php
	      $maxdb = new maxdb("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");

	      /* check connection */
	      if (maxdb_connect_errno()) {
		 printf("Connect failed: %s
", maxdb_connect_error());
		 exit();
	      }

	      $query = "SELECT name, cno from hotel.customer ORDER BY cno";

	      if ($result = $maxdb->query($query)) {

		 /* Get field information for all columns */
		 $finfo = $result->fetch_fields();

		 foreach ($finfo as $val) {
		     printf("Name:     %s
", $val->name);
		     printf("Table:    %s
", $val->table);
		     printf("max. Len: %d
", $val->max_length);
		     printf("Flags:    %d
", $val->flags);
		     printf("Type:     %d

", $val->type);
		 }
		 $result->close();
	      }

	      /* close connection */
	      $maxdb->close();
	      ?>

       Example #2

	      Procedural style

	      <?php
	      $link = maxdb_connect("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");

	      /* check connection */
	      if (maxdb_connect_errno()) {
		 printf("Connect failed: %s
", maxdb_connect_error());
		 exit();
	      }

	      $query = "SELECT name, cno from hotel.customer ORDER BY cno";

	      if ($result = maxdb_query($link, $query)) {

		 /* Get field information for all columns */
		 $finfo = maxdb_fetch_fields($result);

		 foreach ($finfo as $val) {
		     printf("Name:     %s
", $val->name);
		     printf("Table:    %s
", $val->table);
		     printf("max. Len: %d
", $val->max_length);
		     printf("Flags:    %d
", $val->flags);
		     printf("Type:     %d

", $val->type);
		 }
		 maxdb_free_result($result);
	      }

	      /* close connection */
	      maxdb_close($link);
	      ?>

       The above example will output something similar to:

       Name:	 NAME
       Table:
       max. Len: 10
       Flags:	 -1
       Type:	 2

       Name:	 CNO
       Table:
       max. Len: 4
       Flags:	 -1
       Type:	 0
