Not sure what you mean there. You want to call php code from ruby or  
you want some pages on your site to be php and some rails (eg a rails  
website with a blog section that was run by wordpress) ?

Heard of a thing called, “google”? I don’t really know, what you are  
doing with Ruby on Rails, but if you are old enough to have a job doing  
Ruby on Rails, you should do more research before asking such stupid  
questions.

Please read following document very carefully:

I have gotten so far from your post that you want to use php but get the  
rails experience. The closest I have found to php on rails is a  
framework for php called Akelos which can be found here

Last I used it, it was about as close to a port of rails to php as I  
have seen. Unfortunately, it can’t prevent php from being an ugly  
language in places but it is better than nothing.

You do realise that rails is a framework written in ruby, so pretty  
much by definition if you’re using rails you’re not using php? (but  
like i said, with the caveat that you could have 2 entirely separate  
apps that just happen to be hosted on the same domain)

Now that’s not very nice, but somehow I find myself sympathizing.

The OP is obviously being very vague about what they want to do,  
perhaps if they stated why they wanted to use PHP with Ruby on Rails,  
maybe we could help them.
