@Scott: I think this is the operative quote here: "... my boss wants me to develop a website in PHP using Symfony or Cake framework."
I teach this stuff for a living and I think your instincts are right on about questioning whether to go framework or not. If I were the boss I might start differently, perhaps learning PHP to create a simple web site, add a data base and some templates, then step over to the framework. But I'm not the boss.

The best framework is the one you already know. So I agree with Elvin66. I would avoid any framework until you know exactly what you want to do and how the framework supports your goals. Try a few of them out before you make a commitment.
I also agree with Loganathan. Laravel is getting a lot of traction right now. So is Slim. The people I know who are choosing these frameworks are experienced programmers and very knowledgeable computer scientists.
CodeIgniter is another option. So is Zend. There are a lot of frameworks, just like there are a lot of cars. You would test drive a few and choose the one that makes the most sense for your needs.
