+1 for Silverstripe

As an aside, don't forget Silverstipe.
It's generally thought of as "just a CMS" but it is built on an MVC
framework that does a good job of enforcing separation of concerns,
comes with a large library of helper classes, has an ORM that builds
db tables and organises data relationships based on rules set in code,
*and* you get an admin interface for content and data models (using
modeladmin) out of the box*. Definitely worth a look

I think you'll find that any of those will be better that just
PHP5 by itself. But like James was getting at, depending on what
you are trying to achieve could sway you more towards one than
another.
Another one to add to the mix is Silex - a micro-framework created
by the same team behind Symfony. http://silex.sensiolabs.org/
Good for webapps that have simple controllers/logic such as API
driven sites etc.
Code Igniter is great if you want to use a CMS as you could
probably turn the project on its head and use Expression Engine
and delve into Code Igniter when needed.
Never been a huge fan of Cake PHP - It's close to Symfony but in
my opinion, nowhere as good/complete/polished/optimised etc so
haven't taken it much further.
I think if I wasn't a PHP developer, I'd be a Ruby dev... I know
many PHP devs who havent turned back since making the move to Ruby
(and Rails) but it has its own set of pros and cons that I'm not
qualified to comment on.
Which leaves Symfony... My weapon of choice for many reasons but
really, going back to James' original comment, it all depends on
what you are doing.
* Content driven or "appy" project?
* Are you a product dev team or a service dev team?
* Or, are you building this for yourself/your company or clients?
* Do you have long or short development cycles?
* Do you iterate often?
* Are you coding quality or quantity?
* etc etc...
At Pixel Fusion, we predominantly use Symfony but thats possibly
indicative of the kind of work we do.
Hope that helps... happy to elaborate on any of this if requested.
Cheers
Craig

Each of them could probably be considered "the best" for a given
task. Don't forget python if you're doing a round-up!
What is it you want to do?
Kind regards,
