Subject: Ruby VS PHP

I was chatting with a PHP dev friend tonight, he is a
PHP die hard who thinks it can do anything.

Now, I am new to Ruby and programming in general, and
wasn't really able to offer any insightful reasons why
he should at least look at Ruby.  So, I was wondering
if I could get some ammo for next time, especially
from people with a PHP background.

I don't mean the title in a literal sense, I'm more
after some general points about Ruby which distinguish
it from PHP.

I dropped the whole OO vs not true OO but he claimed
PHP has been OO since v3.

Any comments with regards to this?  Point me in the
right direction if its been brought up a million times...:)
