simplEcard features

• A surfer can choose a picture, write her or his name and email into the form, indicate the recipient and write the message.
• Messages can be sent either as HTML email with the postcard text and image embedded, or as plain text mail containing the a link for the recipient to look at the card.
  (The text only variant is of course sent as alternative in HTML emails.)
• Using AJAX, no page reloads are necessary until the message is sent. If the user has deactivated javascript in his browser, the forms still work.
• The form allows to specify a list of recipient email addresses. A flexible parser is used to extract the email addresses out of any separator characters.
• Simple, clean and valid HTML code. All style information in css.
• Easy to customise: Write your own css style sheets for the web interface, templates for formatting the postcards or adapt the texts to your particular web site.
• Use either a very simple plain text file or a prepared MySQL database table to store the messages for retrieval.
• A plugin for the cms phpcms is provided. PHP developpers can easily integrate simplEcard into their own web applications.
