What's the common consensus as to a solid PHP framework to use for

Sounds like it's just personal preference. But thanks for all the posts!
Too bad there isn't a skeleton sort-of system that you essentially then
just plug in the modules that you want/need to "flesh" it out. Then
you'd have your own customized framework for each app that is developed
and keeps *all* of the modules relevant to that app. Nothing extra
would be included that isn't needed.
Then as a developer all you're looking for is modules and not huge
frameworks that may include lots of functionality that you don't have
any interest in. It would certainly keep any attack surface smaller
when it comes to vulnerabilities.
Is there anything out there like that?
A good framework won't load all of the code out there. It will load the
code on an as-needed basis. So that if you only use one piece, that's
the only piece loaded (notwithstanding the loading mechanism being
loaded also :)

True, but I was also talking more about the package of files to install
that contains all of the code. For instance, if the Zend Framework
contains 8 different modules and all of the php code files to support
those 8, and I only need to use 3 of those modules for my specific app,
then it would be cool to be able to not have to have all the additional
code files that aren't used.
I just like to keep things as small and tidy as possible. :) Of
course, maybe frameworks do this and I'm just missing something...
