I don't think indeed.com is representative of the market, many rails jobs aren't even online.

Besides, if for 133 rails jobs and 763 PHP jobs there are 60 and 1500 rails and PHP candidates (respectively,) you're clearly better off choosing rails.

That's not very scientific until you can establish that Rails jobs are more likely to be posted offline than PHP jobs. I don't see any evidence for this.
