dynamically checking mysql row type

[somaboy mx]

Is it possible to check the types of columns in a mysql resultset so you
don't need to know the type of data returned beforehand?

I'd like to be able to do something like:

if($coltype == "datetime") {
// parse date
}else if ($coltype == "varchar") {
// parse string
}

thx
