exists — record exists in a database table
Verification of the form field value succeeds if it contains code that exists in the specified database table.
Foreign lookups are possible; see the section called “EXAMPLES”.
Example: Check for value in database table "products", with custom error message
FORM_FIELD_NAME=exists products Product not found in database
Example: Check for value in database table "products", in foreign column "price"
FORM_FIELD_NAME=exists products:price
