I'm not a computer science person and I don't develop compiled code as an occupation, so when you get down to whatever's interpreting the script, I can't tell you if PHP or RoR is faster. That, and I like to write endless "while" statements for fun. But...

Between PHP and Ruby all I've read and have tried :
1. LAMP + some framework "[smarty / symphony / blah blah blah]
2. Linux, mysql, apache + mod_proxy, mongrel + RoR.

If I could focus on 1 or 2, I'd go number 2 as it's a pretty savage framework (i've bailed on java for some reason... don't know why thought). Lately, even for PHP projects my stupid table names and schematas are created around the RoR naming conventions. Unfortunately, if I went with RoR sometimes, finding reasonably priced help might be an issue along with scalability issues if there are any (yea, in either case, throw a couple of more servers and mongrel processes in the mix) but... from what I've found in my latest client it's more of a support issue than anything else. Everyone knows PHP. Not everyone knows Ruby. And then you have "flipper" boy writing funky shit... so if "flipper" boy is writing funky shit, it might as well be in a script that's more well-known than another.

or some crap like that.
