Which a background in scripting you would probably be able to pick up a good understanding of PHP in 4 weeks.
However it's hard to tell from the information provided. If you aren't quite so proficient in scripting and such then I would think that 4 weeks to learn how to build a dating site might be a bit ambitious.
On top of that, to make a site from scratch that will have users and profiles, you will also need to know SQL so that you can store information in a database.
Also you will want to know about database normalization so that you can put together an efficient database for storing the information.
So, I think that 4 weeks is pushing it. But on the other hand, if you prove me wrong, all the more power to ya. :)

2h x 6days x 4w = 48hours to learn Php enough to build a dating site from scratch...
Seriously doubt it! You may just get the basics, maybe more IF you know "C" (php is mostly built with similar syntax and forms as C).
A good dating site from scratch will take you, full time, a minimum of two months (my experience), and well over six if you want to reach something like adultfriendfinder.com (I am one of the developers).
Good experience with mysql is also indispensable.
