The two that top my list (and I have played with each of them) is:
1. CakePHP - This is very much like RoR framework - only PHP. It does a great job of separating with MVC. The syntax is very easy to understand and catch on to - and it doesn't take long to implement what used to be time consuming tasks. The two weaknesses I have found were lack of examples on their website (community - though there may be more elsewhere), and database calls. If you normalize your tables, it becomes a little more tedious to get into the database level.
2. Zend - This is fairly new, but I am very impressed with all of the pieces that are packaged with it. It is VERY similar to the Cake PHP with its MVC and easy of understanding syntax. The support is growing, as well as examples. However - I still feel its a little weak on the database end (and this is admitted by the developers).
In all of my PHP projects I have moved to using PDO since I have to deal with several different databases - and this is a great 'abstraction layer' to be able to use prepared statements and keep my queries the same no matter what the DB being used.
I hope this helps!
Peace,

I'm actually playing with CodeIgniter and i love it.
The project page contains a video ala ROR.
Hope this helps,

This CodeIgniter looks interesting.
I should try it. I used Fusebox + Smarty before
Works fine! application configuration all in XML file.
Also I tried to use PHPMaker in a past and it wasn't so bad the code it's created wasn't so good and I wish it could be more flexible but it's defiantly worse to try.
Best, DS -
CodeIgniter is a nice framework, I tried it out a little bit and it seemed pretty easy to work with. I'm going to give cake a shot for some stuff in the future (if i ever get the time).
