Subject: Re: RUBY or (PHP5+PEAR+SMARTY)

I know nothing about PEAR or SMARTY, but though I'd put in my cent's worth.

A novice user of Ruby and RoR, I'd swear by these. This is the
cleanest and most fun framework I've seen for a while.

I'm no fan of PHP and early experiences with the language back in 99
put me off it completely. However, PHP has come a long way since
then and one bit of PHP based technology that has impressed me is "Code Igniter"
(http://codeigniter.com/) which provides much of the same
functionality as RoR (I think it was inspired by RoR).

If you are starting from nothing, I'd still go for RoR, but then you
are posing the question in a forum with a clear leaning :)
