Note that, if you want to get the amount of columns of a table and you're using the "SHOW COLUMNS FROM $table" query, you will have to use mysql_num_rows() instead of mysql_num_fields() on the result. This becomes logical when thinking about it, because the SHOW COLUMNS query returns a result with six columns (Field, Type, Null, Key, Default and Extra) and with a single row for every column found. If you'd count the number of fields, you'd always get 6. If you count the number of rows, you'll get the amount of columns found.
mysql_num_fields
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
mysql_num_fields — 결과로부터 필드의 개수를 반환
설명
int mysql_num_fields
( resource $result
)
질의로부터 필드의 개수를 반환한다.
반환값
성공하면 resource 결과 셋으로부터 필드의 개수를 반환하고, 실패하면 FALSE를 반환한다.
예제
Example #1 mysql_num_fields() 예제
<?php
$result = mysql_query("SELECT id,email FROM people WHERE id = '42'");
if (!$result) {
echo 'Could not run query: ' . mysql_error();
exit;
}
/* returns 2 because id,email === two fields */
echo mysql_num_fields($result);
?>
주의
Note: 하위 호환을 위하여, 다음의 권장하지 않는 별칭을 사용할 수 있습니다: mysql_numfields()
참고
- mysql_select_db() - MySQL 데이터베이스를 선택
- mysql_query() - MySQL 질의를 전송
- mysql_fetch_field() - 결과로 부터 컬럼 정보를 얻어서 객체형태로 반환
- mysql_num_rows() - 결과로부터 행의 개수를 반환

You can use it without a requete, just to list the fields :
$liste_champs = mysql_list_fields ( $Base, $Table, $connexion);
for ($i=0; $i < mysql_num_fields ($l_champs); $i++) {
echo ( mysql_field_name ($l_champs, $i) );
echo (' / ');
}

Adding to the last comment: you can dynamically loop through any number of columns AND rows like so-
$query="your SQL";
$result=mysql_query($query) or die("Query ($query) sucks!");
$fields=mysql_num_fields($result);
echo "<table>\n<tr>";
for ($i=0; $i < mysql_num_fields($result); $i++) //Table Header
{ print "<th>".mysql_field_name($result, $i)."</th>"; }
echo "</tr>\n";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) { //Table body
echo "<tr>";
for ($f=0; $f < $fields; $f++) {
echo "<td>$row[$f]</td>"; }
echo "</tr>\n";}
echo "</table><p>";
This has been tested.

here's one way to print out a row of <th> tags from a table
NOTE: i didn't test this
$result = mysql_query("select * from table");
for ($i = 0; $i < mysql_num_fields($result); $i++) {
print "<th>".mysql_field_name($result, $i)."</th>\n";
}

If you just want the number of fields in a table, you can do something like this:
<?php
$db_id = mysql_connet();
$result = mysql_query("DESCRIBE [tableName], $db_id);
$numFields = mysql_num_rows($result);
?>
Because "DESCRIBE" returns one row for each field in the table (at least in MySQL), this will work.
