1. i have never worked with php, but have worked with java / c++ / flash and wanted to know if it would take me long to pick up php.

Program:

program purpose : to be able to reserve periods on a certain day for the computer lab.

K you have a calendar
1. You click a date on the calendar then it will
2. bring up that day (ex. you select the 13th of feb, it will bring up classroom periods A - 6 for 13th of feb. )
3. it will then next to each of the periods tell u if its available for signup or not. if it is not instead of displayiong available next to the period # it will display the user name that reserved it.

4. if it is available it will display 'available' next to the period number. this 'available' will be a button. when u click it, it will use the loadMovie() command to bring up a login screen.

5. if you enter your information correctly you will have successfully reserved that period.
(ex. you click period 3

before:
Period 3: Available
after:
Period 3: Senocular

6. Then if you decide u dont want that period later, you may click on your name (which is now also a button) and it will laodMovie() the login screen, and if u enter the correct info using the 'senocular' as the username because u reserved it, it will change the space back to available.

ex.

before: Period 3: Senocular
after : Period 3: Available

#1:
for the basics, only a matter of hours for more in-depth knowledge - training-on-the-job (aka, read the reference when you need it)
#2:
noone here can tell how good/fast you are

If you already are familiar with C++ you should be able to pick up PHP pretty quickly. The syntax is taken a lot from C and Perl.
