MVC Frameworks - which one?
I've been reviewing some MVC frameworks for PHP/MySQL and have been somewhat overwhelmed by the number of them and what makes each one different. I have one in particular that I like but was wondering if anyone had recommendations and why they preferred that particular framework.

Re: MVC Frameworks - which one?
Our instructor had us review MVC frameworks this quarter. Cake PHP seemed to be quite popular. I've never used a framework yet though.

Ruby on Rails of course! www.rubyonrails.com Ships with Tiger and Leopard (just need to update to latest version)
CodeIgniter is a RoR clone using PHP. PHP is much less elegant than Ruby, though. But if you can't live without PHP, this might be the way.
Django is said to be great as well; uses Python language

Re: MVC Frameworks - which one?
RubyOnRails is a great idea but poorly executed. Ruby is a terrible language for programming as the server has to do heavy lifting. A PHP site that was rebuilt using Ruby went from being hosted on a single machine to requiring a Mongrel cluster.
I would advise people who are knew to development to stay from RoR as it is a fad. Use CodeIgniter or CakePHP if you have access to the .htaccess file (probably not the case on a shared hosting server). ZendPHP is good but requires someone really skilled.
CodeIgniter is nice as its super flexible.
Sorry to dis RoR but I just think its got the same problem as ColdFusion ... too much emphasis on making code friendly by making the server handle more work.

If you're not on a shared hosting server, you wouldn't be using .htaccess files, anyway. It's preferable to put things in the httpd.conf
Anyway, another MVC I know of is Headlight.
