The PHP community isn't terribly vocal. Probably because it's been around for ages and the dos and don't are very well understood by people who care to know.
I personally don't read many PHP related articles because, well, there isn't much new to learn. It's an old/stable language with well understood constructs.
Part of the problem is that the Rails community being as vocal as they are make it seem like everyone is using rails. In this case perception is not reality.
