First Days On the Job Advice

I'm starting my first coding job in a php based environment for a CRM application in a few days, which I've been rushing to get familiar with as I have never used PHP before being hired, and haven't programmed in a computer language since college almost five years ago (I had to take a refresher course just to be ready for the test examination, and only have a CS minor so only delved so much into it).

My questions are mainly: What are some tips to succeed on day one, and how did you or other programmers function on their first days? I've been researching PHP on my own and the CRM application I am slotted to use, but definitely intimidated at some of the coding examples for the application. Does your new job expect mastery on day one?
