Sounds rather complicated to me. If it's not too much of a hassle, I would suggest that you redesign your database to use img_id as the primary key (assuming that it is unique). You could then easily calculate the before and after img_id values and select them from the database in 1 SQL query. (It would also be very quick since primary keys are indexed)
my ($img_id) = $str =~ m/img_id=(\d+)/;
my $prev_id = $img_id - 1;
my $next_id = $img_id + 1;
Then the SQL query (something like):
"select WHATEVER from TABLE where img_id in ($prev_id, $img_id, $next_
+id)"
Hope this helps,

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
