Whoa. Me am  .
You want to look up a value in a database using posted parameters. Is that
what you are asking us? Were you trying to impress us with all this talk
about SMS and gateways and balances? There are a 1001 tutorials out there
on how to get a value from a database using MySQL - try Google for
starters.
While it is obviously not a 'will you do my college assignment for me' post,
SMS gateway interfaces are not normally accessible for fun and learning
which rather suggests you're getting paid to sort this out. I find it
rather surprising that someone being paid to write a program neither knows
how to solve the problem nor where to start looking for guidance before
hitting the newsgroups.
I'd suggest:
1) download a copy of the excellent PHP manual from www.php.net and install
it somewhere you can access it
2) try google or search through this newsgroup for basic tutorials
3) read http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html before looking
for help on newsgroups
