Jens,

A database does have a structure.  The order in which the columns/fields are
defined is their numeric order.
Second, mysql_fetch_row() will accomplish what he needs.
Third, we answered this yesterday.

Please refer to the MySQL-Documentation. A database doesn't have
any predefined structure, so you're responsible for doing this. Can you
explain why you need this "feature"?

This could simply be done by using prefixes:

$col = $prefix.$number
