    I want to learn PHP. I learned C++ and I believe PHP was made out of C.

    I am a decent learner. How long do you guys think it will take me (i know it depends on the person but for an average person) to make a simple script that uses login/passwords, etc.

    w3schools is a good one for beginners.
    Also checkout http://www.php.net/tut.php for an introductory tutorial.
    It covers:
    I also had a C, C++ background and learned PHP, MYSQL myself.
    It can take from 1week to 2months to get acquainted with it depending how much time you dedicate to it.

    For a descent learner it will take, I believe, a day or two to implement a simple script with login/passwords. The simplest way is to use PHP built-in session management facility. Check the manual and explore the session_* set of functions.
