I'm not sure I get the comparison of PHP, a programming language, with
Ruby on Rails, a full blown web stack application, have to do with each
other? I could understand comparing Cakephp to Ruby on Rails, or PHP to
Ruby as that would be making an apples to apples kind of comparison.
PHP is fine for dynamic content, but I am not a fan of the platform
for true web applications. If you are writing a true application and
using HTML to deliver content and take input instead of GTK or some
other windowing lib, PHP is just not structure enough for the job.
My next tier is Ruby on Rails. RoR is a full blown application
framework, that just so happens to use the web to interact with the
end user. This is less about delivering news content for example and
more about delivering and collecting info in a DB. Rails is much
better at these type deployments than PHP, but still lacks something
in flexibility.
