Since Facebook Connect allows the creation of a user without an email address, I have been trying to code to give an error to the user to add on to their profile. What php calls this? Again, I have tried hundreds of options.
if ($user_email = ''){
echo "Email Address Missing";
}else{}
I have tried calling out their info too, but have not done it correctly.
I don't know anything about Facebook Connect but there's a typo in your code above.
if ($user_email = ''){
should be
if ($user_email == ''){

oops - just a typo on the post. the problem has nothing really to do with FB Connect. I just want to check to see if the e-mail field in the database is blank or not. The code above is not looking in the right place...and I am not sure what else to try.
get_the_author_email()?
Not much documentation in it within the Codex other than it is the same as the_author_email(), except it returns rather than displays the author's e-mail address.

it is not necessarily the author - more so the logged in user...
i think it may need some variation of this, but i am not certain about it:
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$user_id = $current_user->ID;

The codex does list the get_currentuserinfo as one way of accessing this information as well. See below:
