Hmm? What's that you say? Just a sec, but in the meantime, why not sit down and have some of this delicious Kool-Aid over here? It's Ruby Red-flavored; I think you'll like it.
Come, now; for those who meddle in things PHP knows that a lot of the goodness you get from Ruby you'll these days also find in PHP as well. Things have progressed quite a bit in the last 5 years, and PHP 5.2 is quite mature and offers an OO model on par with Ruby, without the hassle of being a fringe technology. :) As to about Symfony, yes, it's pretty good and compliments (or answers) the RoR thing well. I personally don't use it as I'm more of a XSLT, SOA, REST freak (and Symfony is slightly tricky to push into that box, especially given the non-MVC direction of the SOA we're building). Now that Ror 1.2 has better support for REST I think Symfony may follow, but I don't like the default templating language (PHP with "specials") nor the non-MVC paradigm. Having said that, I haven't used it for a few versions and things may have improved. Check it out.
