How can one effectively read column names using ADODB in PHP?

When using ADODB in PHP to retrieve data from a database, you can effectively read column names by using the `FetchField()` method. This method returns an object that contains information about the column, including its name. By looping through the result set and calling `FetchField()` for each column, you can easily access and display the column names. 

// Assume $rs is the result set obtained using ADODB

// Get the number of fields in the result set
$numFields = $rs->FieldCount();

// Loop through each field and retrieve the column name
for ($i = 0; $i < $numFields; $i++) {
    $field = $rs->FetchField($i);
    echo $field->name . "<br>";
}
