prev/next records in mysql & php

    my brain doth bork out aloud!

    Anyway - what I'm trying to do is properly implement a "previous record / next record". My current setup is done via an URL parameter, where the previous/next record is queried from the database with
    $previous = $newsID - 1;
$next = $newsID + 1;

    Thats fine if you dont plan to delete anything from the mysql db, but of course you will want to. That same table called "news" also contains a datetime function. Can they be compared to give me what I need when the sequence of auto-incremented id's are disjointed? Or is there another way of doing it using the id's ?

    Ta!

    depending on the amound of records, you could just use a

    select *

    statement and iterate through the resultset?
