Answer 1

first of all i want to tell you that if you are using post method in ajax then dont pass email in url.

 $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: URLROOT + '/register/check/';
        data: {email:email};
         success: function (result) {
            if (result == 'exist') {
              return false;
             } else {
             return true;
             }
          }
      });`

after that you remove parameter from controller's function.

`public function check(l) {
  if($this->userModel->findUserByEmail($_POST['email'])==true)) {
   return 'exist';
  }
  return 'false';
 }`

Try with this.
