One person with no prior experience building Myspace from scratch... that sounds nearly impossible for me :D
(let loop () (loop))
((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x)))
(let ((k #f)) (call/cc (lambda (cc) (set! k cc)) (k))
((call/cc call/cc) (call/cc call/cc))

Tell me if you have other awesome infinite loops!

It took me two weeks to set up a simple site at work, but my situation is quite different - I work on it 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, I'm using django (a web framework which means a lot more convenient stuff than PHP by itself), and even though I have no experience in the framework, I do have some experience in several languages including Python, which is the language that django uses. So your scenario might be pretty different.
(let loop () (loop))
((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x)))
(let ((k #f)) (call/cc (lambda (cc) (set! k cc)) (k))
((call/cc call/cc) (call/cc call/cc))

Well Once you have a basic understanding of PHP you can do anything with it, you just have to learn to be creative.
A social network site would be SUPER easy, The problem is not the coding its the ideas, you would need something that would attract people, looks nice etc.

The ideas are quite important, but imo the implementation can sometimes be more of a headache than you originally imagined, there will always be something that doesn't quite work out when you try to code it
(let loop () (loop))
((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x)))
(let ((k #f)) (call/cc (lambda (cc) (set! k cc)) (k))
((call/cc call/cc) (call/cc call/cc))

i agree with darksorrow... it will be near impossible, unless you have a basic knowledge of php... the thing with a lot of soical networking sites they dont just use a db and php... they also use some javascript and usually some AJAX... so you will have know learn about those aswell... and then try to incorperate the languages together

if you do go ahead and try to make a social networking site.... good luck :)

I didn't mean to say it's totally impossible, but that it's often harder than you expect because of some weird thing that you didn't foresee.
(let loop () (loop))
((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x)))
(let ((k #f)) (call/cc (lambda (cc) (set! k cc)) (k))
((call/cc call/cc) (call/cc call/cc))

First like the others said learn a moderate amount of php. When undertaking a project you are serious about it always does well to know the tools that make it possible. (As for JavaScript as someone else mentioned that is only for making things flashy and is not a necessity in building a social networking site)

Second make sure to do all of the engineering first. On large scale projects it is important to plan everything before you code it. If you were to just sit down and start coding with ought a "blue print" than you will end up with a heap of useless garbage.

with that being said a social networking site is a fairly easy to build.
