fetch data

mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "pass") or die(mysql_error()); 
mysql_select_db("database") or die(mysql_error()); 
$data = mysql_query("SELECT reminder FROM users WHERE id='".$id."' LIMIT 1") or die(mysql_error()); 
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($data);

if($row['reminder'] == 'Reminder1') {
    header("Location: /reset_password.php");
}
else {
    header("Location: /home.php");
}


// but you should use PDO
$dbh = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=database', 'user', 'pass');
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT reminder FROM users WHERE id=:id LIMIT 1");
$sth->execute(array(':id' => $id));
$sth->setAttribute(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$row = $sth->fetch();

if($row['reminder'] == 'Reminder1') {
    header("Location: /reset_password.php");
}
else {
    header("Location: /home.php");
}
