FindByEmail.php ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Before using this module, you must add your own keys to config.php!* This module looks up user information from various public sources based on the supplied email address. It queries the following services: Gravatar Yahoo 43things Vimeo Amazon Brightkite AIM Friendfeed Google Social Graph Rapleaf DandyID The main entry point is the find_by_email() function. This calls the various services that offer a mapping between an email address and user information, and returns an array containing all the information found. The result is an associative array, with a string representing the service's name pointing to an array of user information for each service. The user information is itself an associative array, consisting of the following information, with each item possibly an empty string if the service doesn't supply it: user_id: A numerical value identifying the user on the service user_name: A human-readable identifier for the user, eg "petewarden" display_name: The full name of the user, eg "Pete Warden" portrait_url: A URL pointing to a photo of the user on the service location: An unnormalized location string from the service, eg "Boulder, CO" Some services like Rapleaf, Friendfeed and DandyID return information on multiple other services for a user. These appear in the results, but are overwritten if the services themselves return information first.
