Hi,

http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-field.php look for the result value, the "type" field?

Regards,

@Jakub, thanks so much for your response, but what I mean is that how can I determine if a column is really a TINYINT, MySQL convert Boolean to Tinyint (1) automatically.

In mysql_fetch_field or mysql_fetch_type Tinyint and other numeric type column are returned as "int" type in normal php.

I am write a phalanger application that will create columns in DataDridView automatically according to the structure of result of a query and I want any field of the result with TINYINT in MySQL to form a grid column ofSystem.Boolean as it DataType so as to display CheckBox instead of a System.String column that will dislay ordinary text.

More so, I will like to participate by submitting simple projects as tutorials for new users to go through.

Hope to here from you soon,

Thanks.

I afraid, in PHP you can just query the table description
Code: Select all
mysql_query("SHOW COLUMNS FROM $table")
or a similar query.

btw MySQL does not have Boolean, it only has TinyInt of size 1.
