It will behoove you to learn both
by rhymnocerosI don't think RoR will ever replace PHP. PHP is pretty widely used and is installed on every hosting company that's worth anything. RoR, not so much and there are many more promising technologies currently emerging that are poised to compete with RoR. However, learning the MVC architecture that RoR uses will make you a better programmer and will help you learn a plethora of other technologies from Grails (java programming) to Django (python framework) to ASP.NET MVC. I would suggest starting out with CakePHP, it is a PHP implementation of a MVC framework that is very analogous to RoR. If you do this, you will have a solid understanding of PHP and learning RoR (or django or grails or ASP
Keep learning java
by baltamOne of the very first mistakes i made in my career was trying to keep up with the plethora of new technology emerging every month, when I didn't have the basics to learn any of them properly. Stick to one genre of technologies... if you prefer open source, go with L.A.M.P (linux, apache, mysql (or postgre), and perl/python/php). Or server etc for microsoft. Don't try to learn them all at once! pick one that interests you and stick with it. Because after all, after mastering, say, Java, any other language will look familiar to you.
as for "I heard Java servlets is for real programmers, and the rest is just for those who don't know programming
