Scalability has a lot more to do with design than language.  I work at a
company with an extremely large PHP codebase pushing over 5200 requests
a second at peak.

Though I prefer the coding style Ruby encourages myself, PHP is like
Perl - it's only as good as the programmer writing it.  My main problem
with it has always been somewhat lackadaisical regression testing on new
releases.  That may have improved in 5.x as well, but they had a bad
habit of introducing stupid bugs in the 4.x series.
