In MySQL 4.1.x, the four TEXT types (TINYTEXT, TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT, and LONGTEXT) return 'blob" as field types, not "string".
mysql_field_type
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
mysql_field_type — Liefert den Typ eines Feldes in einem Ergebnis
Beschreibung
string mysql_field_type
( resource $Ergebnis
, int $Feldoffset
)
mysql_field_type() ist ähnlich zu mysql_field_name(). Die Argumente sind identisch, aber stattdessen wird der Typ des Feldes zurückgegeben. Dieser kann "int", "real", "string", "blob", oder ein anderer Typ sein. Eine ausführliche Beschreibung aller Typen finden Sie in der » MySQL Dokumentation.
Beispiel #1 mysql_field_type() Beispiel
<?php
mysql_connect("localhost", "mysql_username", "mysql_password");
mysql_select_db("mysql");
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM func");
$fields = mysql_num_fields($result);
$rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
$table = mysql_field_table($result, 0);
echo "Die Tabelle '".$table."'hat ".$fields." Felder und ".$rows." Datensätze:\n";
echo "Die Tabelle hat folgende Felder:\n";
for ($i=0; $i < $fields; $i++) {
$type = mysql_field_type($result, $i);
$name = mysql_field_name($result, $i);
$len = mysql_field_len($result, $i);
$flags = mysql_field_flags($result, $i);
echo $type." ".$name." ".$len." ".$flags."\n";
}
mysql_free_result($result);
mysql_close();
?>
Das oben angeführte Beispiel führt zu dieser Ausgabe:
Die Tabelle 'func' hat 4 Felder und 1 Datensätze Die Tabelle hat folgende Felder: string name 64 not_null primary_key binary int ret 1 not_null string dl 128 not_null string type 9 not_null enum
Für Abwärtskompatibilität kann mysql_fieldtype() verwendet werden. Diese Funktion ist jedoch veraltet.

Additional to the note below:
If you're using the "SHOW FIELDS" syntax, be sure that you're adding the table name instead of the db name in the "FROM" parameter:
<?php
$result = mysql_query("SHOW FIELDS FROM table");
?>
Also possible:
<?php
$result = mysql_query("SHOW FIELDS FROM table.db");
?>
or this:
<?php
$result = mysql_query("DESCRIBE table");
?>

Condensed version of what KRANG said.
To get info on the MYSQL field type, use this code
<?
$result = mysql_query("SHOW FIELDS FROM db_name");
$i = 1;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { //go through one field at a time
echo "Field $i: ";
print_r($row) //display all information about A field which can be accessed thru the "$row" array.
$i++;
}
?>
Will display something like:
Field 1: Array ( [Field] => SN [Type] => mediumint(8) unsigned [Null] => [Key] => PRI [Default] => [Extra] => auto_increment ) , SN, mediumint(8) unsigned
Field 2: Array ( [Field] => ENTITY_ID [Type] => varchar(20) [Null] => [Key] => [Default] => [Extra] => ) , ENTITY_ID, varchar(20)

This function is broken in 4.4.1 (works fine in 4.3.X).

The note blow seems incomplete/incorrect. For php 4.3 and mysql 4.x the returned values are:
CHAR, VARCHAR, TINYTEXT, TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT, LONGTEXT, ENUM, SET: string
TINYINT, SMALLINT, MEDIUMINT, INT, INTEGER, BIGINT: int
FLOAT, DOUBLE, DECIMAL, NUMERIC: real
TIMESTAMP: timestamp
YEAR: year
DATE: date
TIME: time
DATETIME: datetime
TINYBLOB, MEDIUMBLOB, LONGBLOB, BLOB: blob
if mysql-field-type seems to return the wrong values, you may encounter an compatibility problem of mysql, php and the libraries you use. Try reinstalling php and mysql.

Hmm for the previous comment, note that SHOW FIELDS is an alias of SHOW COLUMNS. Very useful if you need to search the mysql-documentation. Here is the link anyway...

The field type returns what PHP classifies the data found in the field, not how it is stored in the database; use the following example to retrieve the MySQL information about the field....
$USERNAME = '';
$PASSWORD = '';
$DATABASE = '';
$TABLE_NAME = '';
mysql_connect('localhost', $USERNAME, $PASSWORD)
or die ("Could not connect");
$result = mysql_query("SHOW FIELDS FROM $DATABASE.$TABLE_NAME");
$i = 0;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo $row['Field'] . ' ' . $row['Type'];
}
