They are both correct. I just want to know the difference.

Well since you can use them both in the same way, they have the same meaning. For example:
"Have you got the time?"
or "Do you have the time?"
The difference is that "have you got" is more familiar, so you might use it around family and good friends in a casual setting. It's more slang and not exactly the best grammar, so you'd be better off sticking with "do you have" with people you don't know well or business associates.

"Do you have" is correct, formal English. "Have you got" is colloquial English at best, slang at worst. They both mean the same thing, but the audience you were addressing would dictate which one is appropriate. You would not use "Have you got" in a business environment, for example.

The difference is correct English.
"Do you have . . . ." is correct.
"Have you got . . . ." is not, or at best slang. Wouldn't you prefer to appear educated?

Grammar and the proper use of the English language.

It's a question of use. "Have you got...?" is more commonly used by speakers of British English, while "Do you have...?" is more common among Americans.
