Ask HN: PHP or RoR?

I'm a brand new web programmer trying to create my own social networking site and I've been learning PHP and the Drupal CMS these past few days to build my website.

I ran into a developer the other day and he suggested I work with RoR instead.

As I have minimal starting experience with C++, the OOP side of PHP is what drew me (and the fact Facebook also uses it) in the first place.

Now I understand different project needs translates to different languages, but I was just curious what the HN community thinks about the two?
