If you didn't get on CakePHP, I'd definitely recommend CodeIgniter. It's got a much gentler learning curve than Cake, Zend, etc, and is a great introduction to MVC and frameworks. Also CodeIgniter has the best documentation of all the PHP frameworks I've tried.

Once you're comfortable in CodeIgniter you'll find other frameworks make a lot more sense, and you can choose which one suits you best.

I ended up sticking with CodeIgniter, but my own customised version with things like the awesome DataMapper ORM.
