I've already heavily worked with the Zend Framework.  Now, I gave CodeIgniter and CakePHP a run.  I didn't particular care for CodeIgniter.  It was too simplistic.  I really wanted to see scripting enabled.  After that, I tried CakePHP since it seemed like the better of these four frameworks.  However, I ran into a problem with CakePHP, specifically in its use of one model per controller/page.  Maybe I didn't get far enough into the tutorial, but I halted that project at that point.

Well, I looked at Symfony before and thought that the use of PHP 4 would hinder me.  However, now with 1.2 you're required to use at least PHP 5.2.4.  So I'm going to give this one a try.

Thus far, I've managed to get the basic setup going.  The tutorial has you modify your httpd.conf, but I don't know if that's an absolute.  That would suck for people (like me) who use shared hosting.  Maybe I have to dig deeper into this tutorial.

One reason why I'm looking into Symfony was that I read that Yahoo employed it (particularly with Yahoo Bookmarks).  Originally, one major reason why I wanted to avoid Symfony was that without APC, I heard that the performance wasn't that great.  However, Yahoo's decision to employ it because of the extensive documentation has convinced me to at least try it out for a new project I'm doing.

Well, when I get further along into this tutorial, I'll write up something (maybe).
