First method is help you to find an iContact account details with email, the search options allows you to find the iContact details with email.

echo "<pre/>";
print_r($res);

In your library file you have to include the method for iContact API with PHP.

public function getContactWithEmail($Email) {
// Make the call and return the data
$this->aSearchParameters['status'] = 'total';
$this->aSearchParameters['email'] = $Email;
