Mainly because of the projects i tackled, i started to use symfony. It is quite easy to setup nowadays, has an excellent documentation and there are lots of examples out there. It makes it easy to use Object-oriented programming with PHP.

Of course it is probably not the best shot if you just want a simple, static, single page homepage. But if you want to develop some API or webapp with database related actions i think it is worth to give it a shot as a beginner.

I love this because I did not know about symfony (have not been as familiar with PHP in recent years) and this is exactly the kind of feedback that would help a beginner explore these options.

If you have a relevant link to resources for learners do drop it in the comments. And thank you!

Symfony's own documentation is pretty good:

symfony.com/doc/current/setup.html

They also offer screencasts, video transcriptions are always free:
