You are not using the PHP variable in your query, please try this:

$curdate = date("Y-m-d");
$query = "SELECT ticketid, duedt FROM tickets WHERE duedt = '" . $curdate . "'";
$result = mysql_query($query);

Also, please consider using mysqli_* functions to access your database, as mysql_* functions are deprecated and will be removed in future PHP versions.
