Is ruby an alternative of Php

Question

Can I use only ruby (not php) in a full feature web application?

Answer 1

Just a short list of what PHP is capable of:
- Generating dynamic page content
- Creating, opening, reading, writing, deleting, and closing files on the server
- Collecting form data
- Adding, deleting, and modifying information stored in your database
- controlling user-access
- encrypting data
- and much more!

Yes, using the Ruby on Rails framework.
