Getting row before and after a query

Question

I currently have this query

SELECT  short_url,
        type,
        file_thumbnail,
        file_embed,
        media.id,
        user,
        media.file_u         


        

Answer 1

You can use subqueries to get the id of the previos and next record:

...
where media.id in (
  '$id',
  (select max(id) from media where id < '$id'),
  (select min(id) from media where id > '$id')
)
...
