How would I find the next id and the prev id in sql statement like the one

SELECT id FROM contacts WHERE category = '5' AND subcategory = '1' AND
members_id= '8' ORDER BY lastname
The PHP variant could look like (prev id):
SELECT id FROM contacts
WHERE category = '5'
AND subcategory = '1'
AND members_id= '8'
AND lastname < $_POST['lastname']
ORDER BY lastname
LIMIT 1;
I forgot to say earlier: my article is about finding both next and previous records in
a single query. I don't know if this is what you need or not but I assumed it was.
