hi experts, i have a PHP web application which consists of so much modules (like registration,billing,reports,etc…) i want to convert arround only 60% modules from PHP to Rails, that means remaining 40% modules should be in PHP only. i thing my webserver should be a bridge between rails & PHP application is there any webserver which can check the request url and send the request to rails or PHP accordingly ? any other idea & help appreciated . thx ---

There’s a railscast on handling subdomains if my memory is correct. Fred ---

Fred, Do you think it is possible to have a section within a php page that can get content from a rails application? I want to keep php as the main backbone for the overall application, but have some sections get content from rails application. Will appreciate any help.
