Author Topic: Can crm_fetch_contact() search 'additional email' fields? (Read 1901 times)

I need to return a contact(individual) id from an email address and have found crm_fetch_contact() does the job apart from 1 thing;

The email address passed over via param 'email' only seems to reference primary email addresses.

It seems you can't even search the 'another email' fields through the Advanced Search.

Is there an API function that will return a contact id by checking ALL email address fields?

Thanks
Rob

PS. CiviCRM 1.9

No there is no api function to do that in v1.9 (or v2.0)

In v2.0, you can write a custom search to do what you need. For v1.9, you'll need to write your own db query and use those results to do the needful

OK, thanks I will do.

Rather than hardcode access to the database from the beginning with username and password can you please give me a pointer to an existing way to connect and run a query. I'm currently adding code in SoapServer.php (outside the class block).
