PHP/MySQL: Get one row and the next five rows

Question

I have one row that i can SELECT with the following command:

SELECT * FROM uploads WHERE upload_id = $upload_id

But I also want to get the 5 next rows. Using PHP, how can i do that? Order doesn't matter.

Answer 1

To get that record and the next 5 ascending upload_ids:

SELECT * 
FROM uploads 
WHERE upload_id >= $upload_id
ORDER BY upload_id ASC
LIMIT 6

Answer 2

You can try:

select * from uploads where upload_id >= $upload_id order by upload_id asc limit 6;

You should also really avoid using select * and instead specify only the fields you need, even if that is all of the fields. That way if the schema changes in the future you aren't returning redundant data.
