Ruby Forum Test > Call Ruby from PHP

Hi All,
I would like to know if it is possible to call a ruby script from PHP. I
developed a web interface connected to Data Base in PHP, but I would
like in some moment to call a ruby script that will perform some other
actions. Some ideas ? By the way I am thinking to move the whole PHP
system to ruby on rails, so everything will be in ruby, but maybe you
can give me some temporal solution. Thanks and Regards. Bertran.

I will answer my self my question as I found the solution I needed... 
more simple impossible. Two scripts one in PHP and the other in ruby and 
the result is both are writng in same output in this case the html I am 
generating :

rubycall.php :
<?php
echo "lets call ruby from PHP :"
$s="ruby rubysayshello.rb";
system($s);
?>

rubysayshello.rb :
puts "ruby says hello from PHP !!!"

output :
  lets call ruby from PHP :
  ruby says hello from PHP !!!
