As others have said, you should really use PDO. But, to answer your question, mysql_num_rows is your solution.

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM products WHERE code='$line_of_data[0]' AND alert_quantity = '$line_of_data[1]'") or die(mysql_error());

if (mysql_num_rows($query))
// Data is already in database
else
// Data not in database
