One more bite on this code.  

function queries(){

failed: $query");
        return $piv_result;
}
function print(){
	global $piv_result;
	$count_fields=mysql_num_fields($piv_result);  //ERROR: 
	//code...........
}

//MAIN 
queries();
print();

Should this work - $piv_result is being returned from one function and then
being used in another function.  Am I missing something?
Yes, you're returning the result set, but you're not assigning it anywhere.

$rs = queries();
print($rs);
