zend is definitely up there in the top ten but I would choose CakePHP or Symfony, depending on your personal preference. If you love Rails (ROR), then go for Symfony. You cannot go wrong with any of these three. HEre is a good top 3 of 10 list: http://newtop3.com/phpframeworks

Hi, I’m one of the authors of a brand new book about Symfony, CakePHP and Zend Framework aimed to help you with such questions. Most features are thoroughly compared there and it’s (almost) free from personal bias. More info and source code at:
phpframeworks.org

All I can say is the choice is really simple, 6 points to note.
Have a look at this and choose for yourself http://www.christofcoetzee.co.za/zend-framework-vs-codeigniter-vs-cakephp-vs-others/

The trend mentioned earlier, is actually skewed due to framework only mentioned with one brand.

Try these, and Zend seems to come out on top all the time.

http://www.google.com/trends?q=zend+framework%2C+cakephp+framework%2C+symfony+framework%2C+codeigniter+framework&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=1

http://www.google.com/trends?q=zend%2C+cakephp%2C+symfony%2C+codeigniter&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=1

I too am in search of the best option, for rapid development, and thought the trend search you hit on is a great idea and might lend an insight to best options. I also like the fact that it generates some recent product news on the time-line.

thanks all.

Hi probably you should take a look at DooPHP. It is easy to use and it is fastest PHP framework as we have did some benchmark comparison at http://doophp.com/benchmark (you could benchmark by yourself too). DooPHP provide fastest performance to ensure web app would not get any delay due to the framework performance. Also we provide core features that other framework does. Do try to have a look xD

//no one framework will suit everyone//

Agree on that. But getting an opinion from the PHP developers about the framework they use will certainly help others to choose their framework.

Yii seems cool. It needs a few more things like testing (to be finished in 1.1) but even right know, it looks nice. Its code is also of good quality. Personally Zend and Symfony’s code are of great quality, of course, and I also find Yii’s source very well organized.

We can talk about these frameworks for ages, the thing is: no one framework will suit everyone. That’s why everyone seems ‘inventing’ their own nowadays with php. That’s why I like the ruby world. You have rails (and merb – but these two are now merging as rails v3) and that’s probably it. There are others – for sure – but none of them have much following compared to rails.
