By "killed" I figure you mean denied the spotlight. Regardless of the
popularity of Rail, PHP will be as useful as it has been. Long time
programmers won't suddenly abandon a trusted tool just because there's
something talked about. I mean just look at C. People have been
predicting the death of that language for years. Meanwhile, most
important softwares are still written in C.
