Is it possible to develop a windows application using PHP that should access the information of the OS and other features like writing the content into MS WORD, Excel etc.
It is possible through: http://php.net/manual/en/ref.com.php
But you won't find much help nor is it efficient to do.
You'd be better of using any of the .NET languages. I'd personally recommend C#.
However for your mentioned use-cases there are libraries like PHPExcel and PHP also provides drivers for many popular databases.

I recently went through an article which states the different combination to make an Web-Application , so I was wondering that when a developer should go for
1.php
2.asp
3.jsp/Servelets
anything on it would be appreciated
Developer should develop in which language he/she is comfortable.and client's requirement is also taken care of.
Open source web application should develop in PHP. Application meant to run in Windows server must develop in asp and in both the cases you can use java. Java is mostly use to develop desktop applications.

I'm trying to make a Web site that showcases multiple scripting languages, including Ruby on Rails. If I make the framework of the site in Rails, is there a way to run other languages like PHP on the Rails server, or do I need something like XAMPP?
For example when you want to run perl, you could use Microperl. For php.
If this all does not work for you or you want to execute it otherwise, you can create APIs in such languages and let Ruby talk to this APIs.

I have created a php RESTful service which respond with data in JSON format and i can easily access it with my android app, but the problem is with my WPF desktop client. Actually, i don't know a better way to call a php web service from a WPF client. Please suggest some good solutions to deal with this problem.
Your issue doesn't have anything to do with WPF, but simply .NET in general. You're looking for Windows Communication Foundation.
The learning curve is a little steep, but once you've got it set up right, consuming your service in .NET should be pretty simple.

Particularly, for PHP development, which one performs better? I'd like to deploy a Zend Framework 1.X app on the chosen platform. Which one makes this easier/possible?
One thing I particularly love about Pagodabox is how they "force" you to use git (or some other version control system). I know you probably wouldn't use either GAE of PB for trivial projects, so you're probably already using some version control system. But I still think that's a nice touch of them. Plus it makes deploying that much easier.

For example they are used many times in this file: https://github.com/EllisLab/CodeIgniter/blob/develop/system/database/drivers/mysql/mysql_driver.php
That's because that's the file for the MYSQL driver. They also offer a separate MySQLi driver.
Not everyone is going to be switching to PHP 5.5 for a while and there are plenty of legacy applications around. CodeIgniter is intended to remain compatible with older versions of PHP. If you want a more modern framework then there are plenty to choose from - Laravel is a good choice.
