I'm developer who works with PHP for more than 12 years so far, and with Ruby/RoR for more than 2 years.
I would suggest you to stick to PHP to gain some experience, because Ruby/RoR programming requires some experience in order to not screw things up.
But Ruby gives you much more possibilities, however if you don't have experience and don't know what is best practice you can create a lot of junk code and chaos leading to serious problems (like your apps performance).
