to test this try returning $result from the function
e.g.
function test()
{
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM bigbigtable");
return $result;
}
echo(mysql_numrows(test()))
remember $result holds a number that is a pointer to the result set
resource, it isn't the actual result data set, if the memory hasn't been
freed you should still be able to get to it ... I think
