   print_r($user);die;

Always says Undefined variable: input What is the best way to compare email with two values please guide

Answer 1

Add use($input) to pass the $input variable to the closure scope:

User::where(function ($q) use ($input) {

Closures may also inherit variables from the parent scope. Any such variables must be passed to the use language construct.
