Question

I am new to Laravel. Please excuse the newbie question but how do I find if a record exists?

$user = User::where(\'em         


        

Answer 1

you can use laravel validation .

But this code is also good:

$user = User::where('email',  $request->input('email'))->count();

if($user > 0)
{
   echo "There is data";
}
else
   echo "No data";
