I tried to report this to the xcgallery support site but it appears that they are down over there, so I'll post here.

I was having difficulty with the ecard functionality on xcgallery. When I sent cards they were returned to me with the following error:

I got the following information from our hosting provider about the error:

I noted that the file ecard.php has the following line:

I changed that line to this:

Thereafter, it worked fine. Not sure what it's all about. I think the settings on our hosting provider are pretty conventional and I don't have any filters set up, so that isn't it...

Anyway, if someone else has problems, maybe you can try this. And maybe its a good idea to try it too? Oh, and if someone has an idea about how I can fix that line so it will include the sitename but won't have problems, I'd be greatful to know about it.

I had some funnys with this module too, some mail servers processed the mail others apparantly not although I didn't recieve any bounce messages or any other indication of a problem except on one of my email accounts I never recieved the e-card and on another I did but hours later, funnyly enough to my email acount on the same mail server the ecard is there the moment I release the button, I suspect that as you have discovered there is a small syntantic error that is blowing the cobbles of some mail server, which of course are not all the same.
I will look a little deeper thanks to your lead and keep the thread posted.

By the way,
I you plan to use php5 (or your host forces you to use it), you should replace all instances of scandir in searchnew.php (there are 4 of it) with xcscandir for example.
Because this is a function implemented in php5.

Good tip thanks

Thanks for the responses. I look forward to any updates.

I have often wondered what heappened to the development of this great module. IT has been on the same version (1.1RC) for what seems like close to a year. It certainly has been ages and I too had problems with e-cards, so I disabled it and forgot about it. I only stuck with it because of it's wonderful layout. Administration has been and always will be a pain for me.

I just downloaded and installed the real Coppermine script, which xcGallery is based from. This will be my full time image manager from now on as I see little hope of renewed interest in this great little module.
