$sql = "SHOW COLUMNS FROM table LIKE 'subject' ";
$qry = mysql_query($sq l) or die("Query not valid: " . mysql_error());
$res = mysql_fetch_obj ect($qry);
// This returns a row with a field 'Type' containing 'enum(...)'
$res->Type = str_replace('en um(\'', '', $res->Type);
$res->Type = str_replace('\' )', '', $res->Type);
//now the string is something like this: one','two','thr ee
$temp = explode('\',\'' ,$res->Type);
//temp is an array with as much elements as the enum
while ($temp)
print array_pop($temp );
This way is much more easier using the elements since they are elements
of an array. Cleaver isn't it?
