Getting the next record using php

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 29.2009

Say i’m on a page in my website:

[B]page.php?story_id=1[/B]

and I get that information out for that id (1)

But say I want to get the next record in the databases information, how could I do that in a query. ie?

[code=php]
$story_id = $_GET[‘story_id’];
$query_one = “Select * from stories WHERE story_id = “.$next_story.””;
[/code]

I know I could make $next_story = $story_id+1, but the next record in my databases story_id = 8 (ie several have been deleted), so that would not work?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

@DaiLaughingJul 29.2009 — WHERE story_id>$story_id

To get the ones higher than the current

ORDER BY $story_id ASC

That will sort them so the next one is at the top

LIMIT 1

That means give me just the one.

Success!
