I think one thing people like about PHP is it comes with a lot of
built-in functions for dealing with Web-related problems.  It might be
an interesting project for someone to make a list of common PHP
functions used in web developments, with their Ruby equivalent
(including what library it comes from).=20

For example, just taking a quick look at the PHP docs I see 'URL
Functions' with base64_decode and base64_encode. So the table might have

PHP                    Ruby
----                   ----
base64_decode          require 'base64'
                       Base64::decode64

base64_encode          require 'base64'
                       Base64::encode64

Maybe it could even follow a similar organizational structure as the PHP
docs, so someone who wants to move from PHP to Ruby would feel right at
home.
