    I believe that I am using 8.37 and am curious whether there is a way to have a user enter their email address and return whether that email is in the database. I would like to use the return from this test in a function outside of Connections.

    Sorry, no, there is not a feature like this built into Connections. You would have to create a custom addon for such a function. You would just have to query the Connections Email table for the address. If you’re a developer, that should be fairly straight forward do.

    I hope this helps, please let me know.

    The subject data in that table is serialized isn’t it? So a simple unserialize() should get at it, right?

    The serialized data is just a cache of sorts to keep DB requests to a minimum to keep load impact to the site to a minimum when displaying the directory. I would not query that. I suggest querying the connections_email table in the database.

    I hope this is clear and makes sense? Let me know.

    Just call me captain obvious! Of course. Thanks so much – I’ll give that a try.
