fbsql_field_type() is similar to the fbsql_field_name() function. The arguments are identical, but the field type is returned instead. The field type will be one of "int", "real", "string", "blob", and others as detailed in the FrontBase documentation.

$rows   = fbsql_num_rows($result);
$i = 0;
$table = fbsql_field_table($result, $i);
echo "Your '" . $table . "' table has " . $fields . " fields and " . $rows . " records <br />";
echo "The table has the following fields <br />"; 
while ($i < $fields) {
    $type  = fbsql_field_type($result, $i);
    $name  = fbsql_field_name($result, $i);
