I don't think you're going to get a lot of people specifically recommending PHP on this list. For me Ruby is the clear choice and I never want to touch PHP again, however for you there's many things to consider. I don't think Ruby is for everyone so it depends on the nature of your team and the nature of your project. Can you tell us more about what you are doing?
