How to list CCK fields by content type in Drupal

Question

To get a list of a content type's cck fields, I was hoping to use:

drupal_get_schema('content_type_mycontenttype');

but that leaves out fields with multiple values. Is there a simple call to use to get such a list?

Answer 1

Take a look at the content_fields function, and if doesn't that have the information you need, there is _content_type_info.

Additionally, once you have the field information, you can extract the table storage and column names using content_database_info.
