Selecting rows until a column value isn't the same - mysql

Question

SELECT product.productID
, product.Name
, product.date
, product.status
FROM product
INNER JOIN shelf ON product.sheldID=shelf.shelfID
WHERE product.weekID = $ID
AND product.date < '$day'
OR (product.date = '$day' AND shelf.expire <= '$time' )
ORDER BY concat(product.date,shelf.expire)
I am trying to stop the SQL statement at a specific value e.g. bad.
I have tried using max-date, but am finding it hard as am making the time stamp in the query. (Combining date/time)
This example table shows that 3 results should be returned and if the status "bad" was the first result than no results should be returned. (They are ordered by date and time).
ProductID Date status
1 2017-03-27 Good
2 2017-03-27 Good
3 2017-03-26 Good
4 2017-03-25 Bad
5 2017-03-25 Good
Think I may have fixed it, I added this to my while loop.
The query gives the results in order by present to past using date and time, this while loop checks if the column of that row is equal to 'bad' if it is does something (might be able to use an array to fill it up with data). If not than the loop is broken.
I know it doesn't seem ideal but it works lol
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
if ($row['status'] == "bad") {
$counter += 1;
}
else{
break;}

I will provide an answer just with your output as if it was just one table. It will give you the main ideia in how to solve your problem.
Basically I created a column called ord that will work as a row_number (MySql doesn't support it yet AFAIK). Then I got the minimum ord value for a bad status then I get everything from the data where ord is less than that.
select y.*
from (select ProductID, dt, status, #rw:=#rw+1 ord
from product, (select #rw:=0) a
order by dt desc) y
where y.ord < (select min(ord) ord
from (select ProductID, status, #rin:=#rin+1 ord
from product, (select #rin:=0) a
order by dt desc) x
where status = 'Bad');
Result will be:
ProductID dt status ord
-------------------------------------
1 2017-03-27 Good 1
2 2017-03-27 Good 2
3 2017-03-26 Good 3
Also tested with the use case where the Bad status is the first result, no results will be returned.
