(PHP 3, PHP 4 >= 4.0.0)
mysql_field_type -- 
     Get the type of the specified field in a result
    
Description
string 
mysql_field_type ( iresource result, int field_offset)
     mysql_field_type() is similar to the
     mysql_field_name() function. The arguments are
     identical, but the field type is returned instead. The field type
     will be one of "int", "real", "string", "blob", and others as
     detailed in the MySQL
     documentation.
     
| Example 1. MySQL field types | <?php
mysql_connect("localhost:3306");
mysql_select_db("wisconsin");
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM onek");
$fields = mysql_num_fields($result);
$rows   = mysql_num_rows($result);
$i = 0;
$table = mysql_field_table($result, $i);
echo "Your '".$table."' table has ".$fields." fields and ".$rows." records <BR>";
echo "The table has the following fields <BR>";
while ($i < $fields) {
    $type  = mysql_field_type($result, $i);
    $name  = mysql_field_name($result, $i);
    $len   = mysql_field_len($result, $i);
    $flags = mysql_field_flags($result, $i);
    echo $type." ".$name." ".$len." ".$flags."<BR>";
    $i++;
}
mysql_close();

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