Is it possible to get ENUM values from database fields

[eluser]mabright[/eluser]
I have a table in my MySQL database and there are alot of attribute fields. I normally create a foreign key table to hold the possible field values but there were just so many fields that I decided to make them all ENUM and define the allowable values on the field.

Is there a way I can read the values of the ENUM so I can print them as values in my forms drop down boxes?
