Question

i have this array of id’s: $products=array(2151, 2563, 2015, 1986, 1985);

What i want is to build a function that will return the next and the previous item each time i pass an id. For example when i have lets say the 2563-id to get a response with 2151 & 2015.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

$index = array_search($id, $products);
if($index !== FALSE)
{
  $next = $products[$index + 1];
  $previous = $products[$index - 1];
}

Then you do the checks since $products[$index +/- 1] will not always exist!
