I am the current Traffic director at the radio station on my college's campus. I am responsible for adding, sorting, and organizing all of our announcement's into a schedule that our DJs can use.

The problem I currently have is that every single week, I dedicate approximately two hours to updating this schedule (known as the "Traffic Log") each week, and it does not seem very efficient.

In addition to this, another problem is that the DJs have complained about not having a dynamic shuffle of the announcements. Therefore, I have devised a plan to construct an on-line based traffic system that randomly generates a log based on a database of all of our announcements. Also, I'd like the log to be capable of being submitted to another database for myself. In other words, I'd like to include a button that the DJs would push that would act as a submit button, sending what log they choose, to another database or my e-mail. This way, checking the logs would be cut in half the time and commitment that they do now.

I'm not 100% sure, but this sounds like a job for basic PHP? If so (or not), what should I use to build such a system, and what methods are best fit for doing so?

You could do it with PHP. I don't know how "basic" it would be though.

As for the methods, well you would need to build a register system for registering your DJs with passwords, (or else anyone could submit stuff). You would need to have a log in area for said DJs. Then you would need to build another form that would accept the input from your DJs, and then process that input in your choice of method, either by email, or by submission to a database. If you submit it to a database, you will have to build another page that accesses the data from the database and displays it in the manner you would like.
