Forgotten email submitted form help

Question

I have a forgotten email form... when you type your email, it
goes to another php page that will query the db for that email and
send your forgotten email to that email address.
It may not be the best way, but I am learning and so far so
good.
However, what can I do based on my code below if that email
address is *not* in the database? Obviously it wont send an email,
but how can I incorporate that into my code below?
Also: I guess I should have a line on the second form read:
"Sorry no email found". But, how can I delegate where it displays
on the screen? Just general help here please, as I am learning a
lot so far! Thanks.
$email=$_POST['email'];
mysql_select_db($database_connectDB, $connectDB);
$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT `password` FROM `members` WHERE
`email` = '$email' LIMIT 0 , 30";
$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $connectDB) or
die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
$totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
$your_password = $row_Recordset1['password']
?>
<?php
// send e-mail to ...
$to=$email;
// Your subject
$subject="Forgotten Password!";
// From
$header="from: My Web Site";
// Your message
$messages= "Your password for login to our website has
arrived! \r\n";
$messages.="Your password is $your_password \r\n";
$messages.="Come back to login! See you there! \r\n";
// send email
mail($to,$subject,$messages,$header);
?>

There are a couple of different ways to handle something like
this. You
can have the form submit back to the same page that displays
the form. The
logic would be something like:
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST){
// code here to look up the e-mail address and, if found send
the e-mail
// and either display a success message or a sorry not found
message
}else{
// put the form here
The second approach would be to build a second page that the
form submits
to. In that page, you would only need the code to look up the
e-mail and,
if found, send the message and display a success message. If
it's not
found, display the sorry message. It would be a complete
page, styled as
you want it. Just put the PHP where you want the success/fail
message to
display.
