Try this below for getting columns. This is a full EXAMPLE. I usually use a
database object that wraps all these functions
so that I can use same object to interchange between MSSQL and MySQL. But
below is a starter example that you can use
to see how it works.

============================================
## assuming you are already connected, then do this:

$query = "select * from users";

$result = mssql_query($query);

if ( $result != 0 )
{
    $numrows = mssql_num_rows($result);

 if ( $numrows > 0 )


    $numfields = mssql_num_fields($result);

     $table = "<table>";
     $table .= "<tr>";

       # this line will display column names
        for( $i=0 $i < $numfields; $i++ )
        {
            $columnName = mssql_field_name( $result, $i );
            $table .= "<td><b>" . $columnName .  "</b></td>";   # the column
rows;
        }

     $table .= "</tr>";

    # this line displays all the row data
    while( $row = mssql_fetch_array($result) )


        $table .= "<tr>";                                          # starts
a new row
        for( $i=0 $i < $numfields; $i++ )
        {
           $table .= "<td>" . $row[$i] . "</td>";         # this line is one
cell of the data of row; the loop generates the whole record
        }
        $table .= "</tr>";                                          # ends
the row
    }

        $table .= "</table>";                             # the table is
complete

        echo $table;                                          # print out
the table
 }
 else {
     echo "The query was successful, but no data was returned. <br>";
 }
}
else {
 echo "Error running query: $query <br>";
}
