Which is the best framework available today ? CakePHP ? Symfony ? we need to start on new project and deciding on a good framework to use..
Try them and decide for yourself, there is no "best" framework and they all have their own shortcomings. I liked Symfony and Zend frameworks but ended up using a thin application framework of my own.
I like cake, haven't tried symfony, am in the process of abandoning a project in sapphire and starting over.
Yahoo! bookmarks uses Symfony http://www.symfony-project.com/blog/2006/10/28/yahoo-bookmarks-uses-symfony
My vote goes for symfony. Its the only php enterprise level framework available today. From my experience of various J2EE frameworks, I can say, Symfony is the only php framework which can be compared with any J2EE frameworks. This is my opinion, others may have different views.
