Associative array and array_key_exists

I have a table dynamicly created by

// echo field names in header of table
for($i=0; $i<$fields_num; $i++){
    $field = mysql_fetch_field($result);
       echo "<th>{$field->name} </th>";
}

Works great but I want to add another row to the bottom that totals some of the columns
and have that function worked out like,

   function countRowsTotal($rowsneeded,$fromtable){
      global $database, $rowsreturned;
      foreach ($rowsneeded as $data){
         $subq="SELECT COUNT(NULLIF($fromtable.$data, 0)) As $data FROM work";
         //$subresult = $this->query($subq);
         $subresult = mysql_query($subq, $this->connection) or die(mysql_error());
         while($row = mysql_fetch_row($subresult)){
         $rowsreturned["$data"]="$row[0]";
         }        
      }
      return $rowsreturned;
   }

I call that function like,
 $rowsneeded= array('date','milestone1_date','milestone2_date','milestone3_date');
 $fromtable="work";
 $database->countRowsTotal($rowsneeded,$fromtable);

The array $rowsreturned now has the totals to any columns in the $rowsneeded array

So here is the problem,
The last row I echo out is the footer and like the header im trying to check to see if the field name
is one of the names in the array, and if so only print out the value to the array.

I tried this first,
for($i=0; $i<$fields_num; $i++){
    $field = mysql_fetch_field($result);
        foreach ($rowsreturned as $columb =>$total){
                if ("{$field->name}"=="$columb"){
                    echo "<td>$total </td>";
                    continue;
                        } else { continue;}
                       }
                echo "<td></td>";
}
But have extra cells added to the last row :(

Then I tried,
for($i=0; $i<$fields_num; $i++){
    $field = mysql_fetch_field($result);
    if (array_key_exists($field->name,$rowsreturned)) {
        echo "<td>{$rowsreturned->$field->value}</td>";        
        } else {
        echo "<th> </th>";
        }      
}
 
But the problem I think is Im refrencing the {$rowsreturned->$field->value} incorrectly.
I want the value in the $rowsreturned

AAAhhh ! got it !!! Should have posted here soooooner !!!!

for($i=0; $i<$fields_num; $i++){
    $field = mysql_fetch_field($result);
    if (array_key_exists($field->name,$rowsreturned)) {
        $fn=$field->name;
        echo "<td>{$rowsreturned->$field->name->value} $rowsreturned[$fn]</td>";
        } else {
        echo "<td> </td>";
        }
}

I think its right :) if anyone can tell me a better way Id like to see :)
