Well, javascript is handled by the browser, so it doesn't matter what server
you're using. Are you using a server such as Mongrel or WEBrick? If so then
PHP's not working because those servers don't support php. PHP will only
work if you're running Apache with InstantRails.

You cannot use php in an rhtml file, only ERb. It's just the way Rails
works. I'm not aware of any way to use php from within a Rails application,
though you might be able to dig up such a project.

You probably find better support from the Rails mailing list.
http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails

Just out of curiosity — why do you need to use PHP in your Rails app?
Is there something impossible to do by Rails?

Yours sincerely,

Instant Rails includes PHP because PHP is needed to run MyPhpAdmin. You
could use IR to write standalone PHP apps, but Ryan is correct that PHP is
not supported with in Rails/rhtml.

To my knowledge, PHP is included in Instant Rails only to provide access to PHPMyAdmin, which is there to provide GUI access to MySQL.
