I need to extract the "Field", "Type" and other information from a database. I can get the data out if I know the "Field" and "Table" using something like:

```
$query = "SELECT * FROM ".DB_TABLE_1." WHERE id = '$bookmarkID'";

```

Do some stuff then

```
$query = "UPDATE ".DB_TABLE_1." SET description = '$description' WHERE id = '$bookmarkID'";

```

For this to work I have to know that one of the fields is called "description".

Is there a way to look at the info that is in the \* (of the SELECT query) to see what the "Tile" is names, the datatype it is (VARCHAR or TINYINT) and how many characters it takes?
