For the life of me I cant get this to work (default example from WP Codex). I created a php file with this code and dropped it in my theme folder, when I access the file on the web I get a blank page, nada -- am I missing something, do i have to put this someplace else? any help is greatly appreciated.
<?php
$email = '[email protected]';
$exists = email_exists($email);
if ( $exists )
echo "That E-mail is registered to user number " . $exists;
else
echo "That E-mail doesn't belong to any registered users on this site";
?>

simple answer, If that is the template page, than use this:
<?php
$email = '[email protected]';
$exists = email_exists($email);
if ( $exists )
echo "That E-mail is registered to user number ";
else
echo "That E-mail doesn't belong to any registered users on this site";
?>
and ensure you have correct opening and closing php tags.
But if are from other than tempalte page then use this:
<?php
require_once("../../../../wp-load.php"); //ADD THIS
$email = '[email protected]';
$exists = email_exists($email);
if ( $exists )
echo "That E-mail is registered to user number ";
else
echo "That E-mail doesn't belong to any registered users on this site";
?>
Add or Remove ../ in the require_once("../../../../wp-load.php") as per the page location. This will surely help you.
Try to add wp-load.php in your file with right path.
<?php
require_once("../../../wp-load.php"); //ADD THIS
$email = '[email protected]';
$exists = email_exists($email);
if ( $exists )
echo "That E-mail is registered to user number " . $exists;
else
echo "That E-mail doesn't belong to any registered users on this site";
?>
