array ifx_fieldproperties(int result_id);Returns an associative array with fieldnames as key and the SQL fieldproperties as data for a query with result_id. Returns FALSE on error.

Example 1. Informix SQL fieldproperties $properties = ifx_fieldtypes ($resultid);
if (! isset($properties)) {
... error ...
}
for ($i = 0; $i < count($properties); $i++) {
$fname = key ($properties);
printf ("%s:\t type = %s\n", $fname, $properties[$fname]);
next ($properties);
