check out if they have a REST-api and access this API using one of the numerous tools available like ActiveResource or HttpParty. If they don't have a REST-API, talk them into adding one, there are also numerous php-Tools out there that will help you do that. You probably do not want to go down the road of calling php from rails directly, this is possible but very likely to get very messy.

cheers
