I've been wanting to make the switch from PHP. Anyone care to highlight the similar classes or the key differences between CakePHP and Ruby on Rails?
Thank you!

Im a rails developer that took on a PHP client last year and after researching available php frameworks I decided on CakePHP because I felt it was the most Rails-esque and stable.
So I was in the opposite position that you find yourself now. Quite honestly I have never regretted my decision to start learning rails and im sure you will find the task even easier coming from a CakePHP background.
My advice to you should dive right in, take a couple hours tonight, whip up a quick demo project like a blog or todo list in rails, read through some tutorials. My guess is that you will find right at home. Similar project directory structure, similar database schema, similar conventions. CakePHP comes very very close to cloning the core rails way of doing things.
