Umm, what do you mean? Could you please explain it more? What value would you like to get?

Your question is confusing.
but try this,
it might help
$result = mysql_query("SHOW TABLE STATUS LIKE 'table_name'");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$nextId = $row['Auto_increment'];
mysql_free_result($result);

Solution 1

return input + increment value
for example input=3 and increment value=2
nearest next=3+2=5
