Do you want a link to an already-made script that you can copy and paste or are you looking for a tutorial on how to do it?

i would prefer the first option, but any other help would also be appreciated.

Couldn't you just create a super-simple page that uses mail() to email him his reminder? This sounds too simple to want a pre-written script.

I hope this works for you.
an example ok

[code]
<?php
if($go == "1")
{
mysql_connect("host","username","password");
mysql_select_db(databaseName);

$sql = @mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE username='$name' && email='$email' ");
if(!$sql)
{
echo "The user name and email do not match.";
exit;
}
$query = mysql_query($sql);
$fPass = mysql_fetch_array($query);

mail($email, "Your Password", "User Name: ". $fPass[username] ."\nPassword: ". $fPass[password]);
echo "Your Password has been sent to ". $email .".";
}
?>
<form action="<?= $PHP_SELF ?>" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name" size="24" border="0"><br>
E-mail: <input type="text" name="email" size="24" border="0"><br>
<input type="hidden" name="go" value="1" border="0"><input type="submit" name="submitButtonName" border="0">
</form>
[/code]
good luck.
