gCards is a free eCard script that uses PHP and a MySQL database.

It has a WYSIWYG interface for composing eCards if your visitor uses IE (although other browsers are also supported for other functions). You can add smilies, have multiple recipients, automatic deletion of old eCards, automatic thumbnail generation, create and edit site news, etc. It mails the URL to recipients to pick up the eCard, and the sender can optionally be notified when the recipient picks up the card.

Greeting Card Script
This is an extremely simple script that allows you to send HTML-based greeting cards, with a space for a personalized message. It requires PHP (I think it will even work with PHP3, but you’ll have to rename the files and links for “.php3″), and a browser that supports JavaScript.

Operation and customization is extremely simple. Each greeting card card is a plain HTML file with a “placeholder” message surrounded by special named anchor tags. The demo has three cards, but you can have any number you want.

A visitor previews the cards by selecting a radio button. They select one, then they enter email addresses and names and their personal message. They click Preview, and they can see their chosen card with their message in it. Then they click Send.

The recipient recieves a plain text email with a URL to their greeting card. When they view it, the anchor tags and the placeholder message are replaced by whatever message the sender entered.
