这取决于您是想在之后使用用户，还是只检查是否存在一个用户。

如果用户对象存在，你想使用它:

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

如果你只是想检查一下

if (User::where('email', '=', Input::get('email'))->count() > 0) {
   // user found
}

或者更好

if (User::where('email', '=', Input::get('email'))->exists()) {
   // user found
}

这是一个简单的代码来检查电子邮件是否存在数据库

    $data = $request->all();
    $user = DB::table('User')->pluck('email')->toArray();
    if(in_array($user,$data['email']))
    {
    echo 'existed email';
    }

$userCnt     = User::where("id",1)->count();
if( $userCnt ==0 ){
     //////////record not exists 
}else{
      //////////record exists 
}

注:其中条件根据您的要求。

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";

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

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
    }
