Although I did not work with "Ruby on Rails", I feel confident to suggest you to stick with Ruby (if you can). Ruby design is much more "coherent" and it implements quite well the "least surprise principle". I cannot say the same about PHP, although, I must admit, that maybe PHP has a good amount of useful libraries (but I would bet that for most of them, you can find the Ruby equivalent).
