$user = User::where('email', request('email'))->first();
return (count($user) > 0 ? 'Email Exist' : 'Email Not Exist');

如果你想插入一个唯一的记录，你可以使用laravel验证:

$validated = $request->validate([
    'title' => 'required|unique:usersTable,emailAddress|max:255',
]);

但是你也可以用这些方法:

1:

if (User::where('email',  $request->email)->exists())
{
  // object exists
} else {
  // object not found
}

2:

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

if ($user)
{
  // object exists
} else {
  // object not found
}

3:

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

if ($user->isNotEmpty())
{
  // object exists
} else {
  // object not found
}

4:

$user = User::where('email',  $request->email)->firstOrCreate([
      'email' => 'email'
],$request->all());

$user = User::where('email', '=', Input::get('email'))->first();
if ($user === null) {
   // user doesn't exist
}

可以写成

if (User::where('email', '=', Input::get('email'))->first() === null) {
   // user doesn't exist
}

这将返回true或false，而不分配临时变量，如果这是你在原始语句中使用$user的全部目的。

要知道是否有记录是很简单的

$user = User::where('email', '=', Input::get('email'))->get();
if(count($user) > 0)
{
echo "There is data";
}
else
echo "No data";

这将检查表中是否存在特定的电子邮件地址:

if (isset(User::where('email', Input::get('email'))->value('email')))
{
    // Input::get('email') exist in the table 
}

我认为下面的方法是达到同样目的的最简单的方法:

    $user = User::where('email', '=', $request->input('email'))->first();
    if ($user) {
       // user exist!
    }else{
       // user does not exist
    }
