How to run PHP code from inside a Ruby script?

Question

I'm trying to come up with a solution to this problem. I have a Ruby script that needs to run some PHP code, but I am new to Ruby, so I don't know how to go about doing this.

def run_my_code
    #execute some PHP code here
    # $person = new Person();
    # $person->doSomething();
end

How can I achieve this?

one way is to use exec

http://ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Kernel.html#M005968

also `ls` or `cmd` works too (back tick)

does it cost much to frequently spawn new processes just to eval a PHP code?

I've heard of Phuby, though I haven't used it myself.

Look at Erubis. It supports PHP and other languages (Ruby/PHP/C/Java/Scheme/Perl/Javascript).
