I'm a php developer, but for the last 18 months have been exposed to rails. I'd disagree with rounce and say learn rails, then ruby. Rails is the framework that will do a lot of the basic tasks for you. You'll only really need more ruby skills as your applications grow in complexity beyond that offered by the framework.
PHP? Still worthwhile, and arguably easier to pick up. PHP is definitely easier to manage and deploy though. Rails will not just run on any old server, and in my short experience I find the whole deployment of a rails app to be insanely complex when compared to PHP.
Rails, I think, is set for big things though. It may well out live php.
