If you mastered PHP & Rails, would there be any use case for PHP?

I use PHP an Python. Not exactly Rails, but it's a similar question.

They both have their place, and they both have situations where one is an easier/better choice than the other.

Pick the best tools for the job. It doesn't matter how awesome your power drill is, even a double-clawed hammer is better at driving in nails.

I mastered PHP, Python, JavaScript, Java. For me the only reason to use PHP is availability on every low cost host. I don't found any other arguments to use PHP.

You must be a fucking genius.

That has a nice ring to it.

PHP has a much larger install base on commercial web hosts than Ruby, so I would consider it a perfect tool for a self-hosted application.

Also keep in mind PHP5 is not the same relic of the past that people constantly bitch about.

I'm just hoping PHP 5.4 adoption starts picking up. As it is, it's hard enough finding shared hosts that support 5.3

Maybe you don't want to allow users to execute code by HTTP?

Yeah, PHP is a lot funnier :) http://me.veekun.com/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-de...
