In the same spot on your page that reads the external KML/XML file you would replace it with a MySQL while loop. Study the correct html/ javascript syntax for three polyline points, I believe that two will be the same - take one of those lines and code it within the loop, replace the hard coded lat/lng data with php variables that change with each loop. The third polyline point would remain outside the loop, either at the beginning or end depending on where it stood in the hard coded example.
You will have to play around with the loop until it works and study the source code for mistakes, if the source code shows up. Sometimes you can't view it if the code is totally screwed up.
