From my experience, it was simply easier to do it this way unless the PHP and Ruby sides code interactions were isolated. For example, I had to integrate a Word Press blog into a Rails application. This worked great because I just dropped the blog into the public part of the Rails site and I was off to the races. However, this didn't work so well when I needed to integrate a Rails application with a bank's billing interface that was in PHP. It simply felt wrong but the client wanted it ASAP and I ended up capturing the users input on the Rails side and submitting it to a PHP confirmation page for later submission to the bank. In short, if you can find a good isolation point between the two languages, I would use that at a means of integrating the two if you do not have time to do it all in Ruby.
