Via this post on the PHP Magazine website today, there's a blog post comparing Ruby and PHP, with a bit of a bias towards PHP.

n a quick note from Rajesh Ramachandran is a pointer to a page that does a Ruby versus PHP comparison. The page goes on to the spell out some of the advantages of Ruby over PHP and vice versa.

According to the page, the advantage of PHP over Ruby: "There are not many examples present for Ruby as compared to PHP since PHP is focused on web applications. PHP has well established documentation. Ruby is young, lacks the mature libraries, huge community, massive publications and well-tested scalability of PHP. Ruby is missing method overloading which is present in PHP. PHP allows overloading of property access and method calls by implementing special proxy methods that are invoked if the relevant property or method doesn't exist."

At the time of posting this, I couldn't get to the page itself, but it would be interesting to take a look at some of the other reasons behind his leaning towards PHP...

UPDATE: Well, it's not pretty, but here's the Google cache of the page without images and all. I'd of figured there'd be more to it...
