something like this

PHP Code:

    if ($nextone)
    { // set the variables
            $nextone = $nextone['articles_articleid'];
            $nextarticle = 1;
        $articlenav_direction = ">";
        $articlenav_order = "ORDER BY articles_articleid ASC";
    }
    else if ($previousone)
    {
        $previousone = $previousone['articles_articleid'];
        $prearticle = 1;
        $articlenav_direction = "<";
        $articlenav_order = "ORDER BY articles_articleid DECS";
    }

    $articlenav = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT articles_articleid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "articles_article WHERE articles_articleid $articlenav_direction $artid AND categoryid = $categoryid $articlenav_order LIMIT 1"); 


far from impressive really, both acheive the same thing as well, theris really no reason to switch since it don't perform the query unless asked to.
