Question

I firstly fetch the query from MYSQL database and email it to my mail

MYSQL

$sqll = "SELECT motheremail FROM family WHERE familyId = 1004";
            $email_message = mysql_query($sqll)or die(mysql_error());;

But As a message on email i get “Resource id #83” and not the thing that is in table

any ideas why?

You need to fetch the result of your query.

$sqll = "SELECT motheremail FROM family WHERE familyId = 1004";
$result = mysql_query($sqll)or die(mysql_error());

// Fetch the row from the result set
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

echo $row['motheremail'];

Or if more than one row is expected, fetch them inside a while loop:

$sqll = "SELECT motheremail FROM family WHERE familyId = 1004";
$result = mysql_query($sqll)or die(mysql_error());

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
  echo $row['motheremail'];
}
