insert rails into php

apache, nginx etc... can certainly forward the request to different places based on the url (and other things). Where things might get complicated is to what extent your php bits and your rails bits will need to share information

Well I'm not sure how you'd do it in development, but in the real
world you can setup a wildcard dns entry. There's a railscast on
handling subdomains if my memory is correct.

Hey guys I’ll leave this two links here if you’re interested in
working with subdomains:

Fred,

Do you think it is possible to have a <div> section within a php page
that can get content from a rails application? I want to keep php as
the main backbone for the overall application, but have some sections
get content from rails application. Will appreciate any help.

Thanks

As I understand things You've basically got 3 options - populate that
div client side with an ajax request, have an iframe that will make a
request to the rails bit or have your php server side code make a
request to your rails app and insert the html serverside.
