help w/ multidementional array in mysql

["PHELPS, SCOTT" <SPHELPS@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks in advance for reading this:

I am trying to take a query based on user input and selectively output
fields to a table.

Heres the query code:
<<< snip - snip>>>
$query_result = mysql_query($query);
while ($field = mysql_fetch_array($query_result))
        {
        $returned_rows =
        array(
                        array(
                                "id"=>$field['id'],
                                "lastname"=>$field['lastname'],
                                "firstname"=>$field['firstname'],
                                "yearhired"=>$field['yearhired'],
                                "yeardepart"=>$field['yeardepart']
                                )
                );
        }
<<< snip - snip>>>

Now what I want to do is put only the lastname and firstname in a
small table with alternating colors:

Like this:

-----------------------------------------
|   $lastname, $firstname  |   ---> color=blue
-----------------------------------------
|   $lastname, $firstname  |   ---> color=white
-----------------------------------------
|   $lastname, $firstname  |   ---> color=blue
-----------------------------------------

Heres the code:
<<< snip - snip>>>
<table class="results_inner">
<?php
    foreach ($returned_rows as $value)
     {                                   
       printf ("<tr><td class='results_blue'>%s, %s</td></tr><br>", $value['lastname'], $value['firstname']);                                                                           
       next($returned_rows);                                                                               
       printf ("<tr><td class='results_white'>%s, %s</td></tr><br>", $value['lastname'], $value['firstname']);                                                                   }           
     }
?>
</table>
<<< snip - snip>>>

The problem is that it only prints one name.  Also next() doesn't seem to be advancing the table so
I am getting duplicates of the one name it does print to the table

Thanks.
