I'm curious if it's possible to create a vCard using information in a mySQL database and using PHP to download the vCard to a PDA or cell phone? If not, is there anyway to create vCards strictly using a database?
 
It shouldn't be hard to create vCards in PHP from any data source, including. It's just strictly-formatted text, the spec defined here.

Transmitting the data to the PDA or cell phone is the harder part. It really depends on the device to which you're sending the vCards. Some cell-phones will accept vCard information via SMS and some cell phone vendors provide SMTP to SMS gateways.
