Maybe nobody answers because they have no idea what you are asking??? At least, that's how it is to me... You might want to be abit more specific on your question... :)

e-Card sending stuff?

You can either search for eCard websites, and send them from someone else's website, or create your own. The point of an eCard is that it's online. I don't believe there's any eCard sending "stuff" you can install.

Um...

And e-card is just a name for something very simple.

All it does is send a particular graphic (or flash movie) to an email...

Dude, you have to give us some specifics here, lol.

1) What webserver do you have installed locally?
2) Do you even have a webserver installed locally?
3) Do you have the SMTP email setup?

An e-card is something very simple.

Let's say you have a page called: eCard.php.

Everytime you create a user wants to send an e-card to someone, the information can be stored in a mySQL database. So let's say I want to send an e-card to you...

I fill out a form:

Name: Vendi
Email: Vendi@vendi.com
Type of eCard: Merry X-Mas Ecard

Once I press submit, that info is stored in the mySQL database and is assigned an ID number.

Then you can have the eCard.php page retrieve the ecard based on the ID.

eCard.php?id=12345

If you don't understand any of the above, start going through some tutorials in PHP and mySQL :)
