Here i have an usable code for all u:
I wanted to know if a field is nullable or if it's defined as a primary key, here are those functions definitions:
*Aditional Notes:
if any of the tables are replicated in another database exactly , this code will not work well.
//-----to know if a field is nullable-------
function mssql_field_nullable($ip,$user,$pass,$table,$field)//starting from 1st field
{
$conn=mssql_connect($ip,$user,$pass)or die;
mssql_select_db('master');
$result=mssql_query("SELECT syscolumns.isnullable
FROM sysobjects INNER JOIN
syscolumns ON sysobjects.id = syscolumns.id WHERE sysobjects.name ='$table' AND syscolumns.isnullable = 1");
$x=mssql_num_rows($result);
mssql_close($conn);
return ($x==1?1:0);
}
//-------to know if a field is a primary key-------
function mssql_field_key($ip,$user,$pass,$table,$field)//starting from 1st field
{
$conn=mssql_connect($ip,$user,$pass)or die;
mssql_select_db('master');
$result=mssql_query("SELECT sysindexkeys.colid FROM sysobjects INNER JOIN sysindexkeys ON sysobjects.id = sysindexkeys.id WHERE sysobjects.name ='$table' AND sysindexkeys.colid = $field");
$x=mssql_num_rows($result);
mssql_close($conn);
return ($x==1?1:0);
}

<?php
// Connect to MSSQL and select the database
mssql_connect('MANGO\SQLEXPRESS', 'sa', 'phpfi');
mssql_select_db('php');
// Send a select query to MSSQL
$query = mssql_query('SELECT [name] FROM [php].[dbo].[persons]');
// Print the field type and length
echo '\'' . mssql_field_name($query, 0) . '\' is a type of ' .
strtoupper(mssql_field_type($query, 0)) .
'(' . mssql_field_length($query, 0) . ')';
// Free the query result
mssql_free_result($query);
?>

nchar => nchar
ntext => ntext
text => text
numeric => numeric
nvarchar => nvarchar
SELECT sysobjects.name AS tableName, syscolumns.name AS columnName, systypes.name AS columnType
FROM sysobjects INNER JOIN
syscolumns ON sysobjects.id = syscolumns.id INNER JOIN
systypes ON syscolumns.type = systypes.type AND syscolumns.xusertype = systypes.xusertype
