It also supports cross-platform web development. So you can easily use the code from the PEAR or Zend framework. With Yii you do not need to worry about input validation, SQL injection, and other routine security tasks, as these are done on their own.
CodeIgniter:
It is light and easy to learn the framework. It includes a rich set of libraries that allows faster development. Moreover, it has a simple interface and logical structure which allows accessing these libraries. In this, the amount of code required is very less as compared to others.

CakePHP:
CakePHP is easy to learn and it provides a basic organizational structure. This keeps the whole application concordant and logical. It can manage every aspect, from the user’s initial request to the ultimate rendering of the web page. Being an MVC-based framework, it allows the user to easily customize and extend most aspects of the web application.
Symfony:
Symfony comes with a highly convenient debugging toolbar which helps it make better applications. This framework is very light and it requires only two writing folders, which can be easily configured to the established level of security, that the user requires for the app. Symfony also works well with HTTP accelerators like Varnish.
For beginners, it has separate web application business rules, server logic, and presentation views. It has numerous tools and classes that help to minimize the development time of a web application. It has been exhaustively tested in several real-world projects. It works with most of the databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server.
