I have this code (I know that the email is defined)

 <?php
$con=mysqli_connect($host,$user,$pass,$database);
 if (mysqli_connect_errno($con))
{
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT `note` FROM `glogin_users` WHERE email = '.$email.'");

while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
echo $row
?>

In my MySQL database I have the following setup (Table name is glogin_users) id email note

I've tried extracting the note text from the database and then echo'ing it but it doesn't seem to echo anything.

What you are doing right now is you are adding . on the string and not concatenating. It should be,

$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT `note` FROM `glogin_users` WHERE email = '".$email."'");

or simply

$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT `note` FROM `glogin_users` WHERE email = '$email'");
