Dont really know about RoR but I would use PHP as RoR seems to be a simple a simple Parser module for your webserver while PHP is now fully support objects / classes
Ruby on Rails is a web framework developed in the Ruby programming language. Fully OO from the ground up. Very readable and elegant language. Its OO features leave PHP in the dust.

Ruby on Rails is amazing.. but its drawback is, it can be sticky when it comes to deployment/server configurations. Most end up havnt to set up apache as a transparent proxy for rails apps running on mongrel or lighttpd, as far as I know.

Even though I love RoR, I decided on Django for some projects I am working on. I like its loosly coupled approach.. each little app you build for a django project is nice, self contained and can easily be shared between other django apps. You dont have to start mucking around with building "plugins" or generators like you do in RoR. Django is basically a Rails-esque framework, written in python.
