php frameworks

i want to ask the php develloper in this forum,
do you prefer to work on a framework??? and which php framework in your opinion is better and why do you use it.. ??

i am used to create from scratch all my php applications but i felt interested lately about discovering some php frameworks such as cakephp and symfony. i tried reading about cakephp for sometime but its documentation is not easy to follow and it doesnt really really go too far from being a featered and traditional php framework while symfony framework adopted many of ruby on rails ideas with a very friendly online manual/book that could be used as a reference as well. i am stillreading about symfony and saw lot of positive reviews.

i will post a more detailed post when i get to my pc.

in my work they told me to use cakePHP, and then I discovered that it is great and it is very easy and fast... now im reading about the zend framework to know why it is so popular.. i think zend is good (just because it is so popular) but i prefer cakePHP (because i know it (it's easy and fast)...
xcoder: I would recommend you to learn cakePHP version 1.2 and you’ll get to learn the best php framework by far.
