Php frameworks

In my opinion, Symfony is the best option for rapid website development. Among the possible PHP frameworks, I think, Zend is too bulky, heavy and has many unnecessary things; cakePHP is made exclusively for php4, which means some problems in future; CodeIgniter is suitable for simple projects but not for more complicated ones.

Symfony stands out of them due to its generators, excessive adjustability, simplicity in creating modules and convenient architecture of the source code location. Moreover, there are many free updates on the Net.

If you still doubt about its popularity, search in Google and you’ll be surprised how many projects are already done on Symfony (for example, Yahoo! Bookmarks).
