it need to check the database

Then you need to connect to your database and run an sql query to fetch the data you require

 

Do you know how to do that?

Stop right here.  Start over with either mysqli_* functions or the PDO functions.  Do Not User MySQL_* functions.  Read the manual!!!

 

Have you done any research of your own in your attempt to become a programmer?  It would behoove you to do so.

What I Mean Is - Read some and try and learn a bit.  It will help you learn.  Start with the php manual and read about how you are NOT SUPPOSED TO USE MYSQL anymore.  Click here:
