PHP HTML dynamic column headings - php

Question

I am using the below code to make a HTML table. I searched online for PHP get column headings but couldn't find any information (only information on rows). Is it possible to use a while loop and print the column headings from the SQL instead of having them hardcoded as below?
Code
$stid = oci_parse($conn, "
SELECT *
FROM
(
SELECT orders.order_no, orders.porder_no, orders.date, order_totals.value
FROM orders, order_totals
WHERE orders.order_no = order_totals.order_no
AND orders.account_no = '" . $_SESSION['session_account'] . "'
ORDER BY orders.order_no DESC
)
WHERE ROWNUM <= 15
");
oci_execute($stid);
echo "<table class='table'>
<thread>
<tr>
<th>Order No</th>
<th>Purchase Order No</th>
<th>Date</th>
<th>Value</th>
</tr>
</thread>
<tbody>";
while ($row = oci_fetch_array($stid, OCI_NUM)) {
echo "<tr>";
echo '<td>' . $row[0] . '</td>';
for ( $ii = 1; $ii < count($row); $ii++ ) {
echo "<td>" . $row[$ii] . "</td>";
}
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</tbody> </table>";

Answer 1

Use this code this may help you, use oci_field_name() to get the column name
echo "<table class='table'>
<thread>
<tr>";
$ncols = oci_num_fields($stid);// to get column number
for ($i = 1; $i <= $ncols; $i++) {// index start from 1
$column_name = oci_field_name($stid, $i);
echo "<th>".$column_name."</th>";
}
echo "</tr>
</thread>
<tbody>";

You are looking for column name property that is already made available by PHP MySQL or MySQLI or PDO APIs.
Here is an example - http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-field-name.php
Good luck.
