title: What's the best way to run PHP within Rails?
body: <p>I'd like to run PHP from within Rails, so I'd like to be able to compile both PHP and Ruby code in the <code>.erb</code> files. I can't figure out the best way to do this, and I'm having a hard time finding information about it without becoming completely lost.</p>
  
  <p>I'm currently a Rails noob and a PHP lover so I'm using WEBrick on my Mac but Apache on my server (Windows), and I'd like to use both Rails and PHP on my Apache server if that's possible. I've heard about Passenger, but I've looked in <code>httpd.conf</code> on my Windows server and there's no <code>mod_rails</code> to be found.</p>
  
  <p>I don't know if I'm ready to try installing Passenger on a Windows machine. Is that even possible? What even is Passenger?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
