How to create a VCF card?

First you need to call your settings and generate a vcf. You can even create an image or create a button  rather than text to give more style on your website.

Code: 
<a href="vcard.settings.php">Download VCF Card</a>

 Below is a sample file called vcard.settings.php

require_once('./vcard.class.php'); //Path of your vcard class
$vc = new vcard(); //Creating new vcard object

$vc->filename = "Melanie Borja";
$vc->revision_date = ""; //If you leave this blank, the current timestamp will be used.
$vc->class = "PUBLIC";

/* Contact's name data.*/
$vc->data['display_name'] = "";
$vc->data['first_name'] = "Melanie Kaethleen";
$vc->data['last_name'] = "Borja";
#$vc->data['additional_name'] = ""; //Middle name
#$vc->data['name_prefix'] = "";  //Mr. Mrs. Dr.
#$vc->data['name_suffix'] = ""; //DDS, MD, III, other designations.
#$vc->data['nickname'] = "Kaetz";

/* Contact's company, department, title, profession */
#$vc->data['company'] = "";
#$vc->data['department'] = "";
$vc->data['title'] = "Web Developer";
$vc->data['role'] = "PHP Developer";

/* Contact's work address */
#$vc->data['work_po_box'] = "";
#$vc->data['work_extended_address'] = "";
$vc->data['work_address'] = "";
$vc->data['work_city'] = "";
$vc->data['work_state'] = "";
$vc->data['work_postal_code'] = "";
#$vc->data['work_country'] = "";

/* Contact's home address */
$vc->data['home_po_box'] = "Blk 3 Lot 10";
#$vc->data['home_extended_address'] = "";
$vc->data['home_address'] = "Happy Homes";
$vc->data['home_city'] = "Quezon City";
$vc->data['home_state'] = "";
$vc->data['home_postal_code'] = "1116";
#$vc->data['home_country'] = "Philippines";

/* Contact's telephone numbers. */
$vc->data['office_tel'] = "";
#$vc->data['home_tel'] = "";
$vc->data['cell_tel'] = "(+63) 922-4898-744";
$vc->data['fax_tel'] = "";
#$vc->data['pager_tel'] = "";

/* Contact's email addresses */
$vc->data['email1'] = "kaethleen@gmail.com";
$vc->data['email2'] = "kaetz_888@yahoo.com";

/* Contact's website */
$vc->data['url'] = "http://www.kaethleenborja.com";

/* Some other contact data. */
#$vc->data['photo'] = "";  //Enter a URL.
$vc->data['birthday'] = "1985-04-14";
$vc->data['timezone'] = "-06:00";

$vc->data['sort_string'] = "";

/* Notes about this contact. */
#$vc->data['note'] = "Melanie Borja you're the best";

/* Generate card and send as a .vcf file to user's browser for download. */
$vc->download();


  • filename: the name of the .vcf file that will be sent to the user if you call the download() method. If you leave it blank, the class will automatically build a filename using the contact's data.
  • class: Possible values are PUBLIC, PRIVATE, and CONFIDENTIAL. If you leave class blank, it will default to PUBLIC.
  • display_name: If you leave display_name blank, it will be built using the first and last name.
  • sort_string:   If you leave this blank, the class will default to using last_name or company.

  • function build(): checks all the values, builds appropriate defaults for missing values, generates the vcard data string.
  • function download():  streams the vcard to the browser client.
