Popup is not showing any physically existing page. Its just showing a new html page with two divisions in it. How to retrieve data from mysql into this division?

<div id="blanket" style="display:none;"></div>
<div id="popUpDiv" style="display:none;width:500px;height:400px;">
<div align="left" class="popup_head">
<div align="right" style="float:right;width:10%">
<a href="#" onclick="popup('popUpDiv')" style="color:#FFFFFF;text-decoration:none">X</a>
</div>
<div style="clear:both"></div>
</div>
<div align="center" style="padding:10px;">

<form action=""  onSubmit='search()' method="post" name="frmSendMsg">
</form>
</div>
</div>

Well, it depends on how exactly your javascript popup works.

If the popup shows some physically existing page, then this page should fetch data from mysql just like your main page.

If the popup shows some dynamically js-generated page, you should probably use AJAX techniques, i.e. have some PHP backend which is able to fetch data from mysql and address this backend from javascript. Most modern JS frameworks can do it any way you want (XML, JSON etc.).
