You don't need a database. But if you're going to use Rails, you probably have a complex, dynamic website, which would be database powered (pretty much all serious websites). But you can easily write non database powered apps. In the MVC paradigm, you won't have a model, just a view and controller. Again, this sort of question will get you fans on either side.

PHP isn’t outdated, but many people don’t like the language (there are reasons).

> [Ruby] it seems to mainly be used for database driven sites.

You don’t need a database. But if you’re going to use Rails, you probably have a complex, dynamic website, which would be database powered (pretty much all serious websites). But you can easily write non database powered apps. In the MVC paradigm, you won’t have a model, just a view and controller.

Again, this sort of question will get you fans on either side. You need to find out what suits you best.
