I am sorry if repost
I'm making a schedule of course and I am having problems
how to apply ant algorithm in php (cakephp), the problem is where the ant algorithm is embedded
I have a table
- Classroom
- Course
- readiness
- lecturer
- schedule

I have a class of ants and ant algorithms (if I've made are correct)

what should i do
Help me please...

Is that a game that you're designing for a course or something? In your description, you've said that you're making a schedule of course. But the code looks like it is more about a game. Am I Right?
