gCards

gCards is a free PHP-based eCard system that is easy to setup and use. gCards simple Administration Console allows the administrator to upload images (JPEGs of GIFs), add eCard categories, and modify existing settings - no more messing with HTML or PHP to get your eCard site up and running!

gCards is my first stab at a PHP application (or any other programming endeavour) so go easy on me.
