Do U want to do this on server or client side ?

If I understood U right, something like this should work:

$(document).ready(function() {

var dbVaue = '<?php echo $dbEmail;?>'; // this will hold your db value


$('#yourForm').on('submit', function(e) {


     e.preventDefault();


     if( dbValue == $('#yourTextFieldID') {


        ..... do want U want to do....


     } else {


        alert('your email does not match'); // infortm user about error


     }


})

});
