There is no best framework. Evaluate a few of them and see which is most suitable for you and your specific needs.

What ~requinix said. Popular ones are Zend and Cake. Laravel seems to be the new darling.

They are all free to download. And all have an example, quick-start application. I recommend that you download several that look good to you and try to get the example application to work. Maybe try make a change to the example application. That should quickly identify the ones you can actually understand and make sense to you. That is a good start.

I suggest you to go with Cake PHP.

If you can compile on your host or if you host has Phalcon installed, take a look at it -- it's very fast.

I've only recently started and have been using CodeIgniter without any problem! Have a loot at the website, it's very easy to use and there is a clear and comprehensible manual on their website! :)

Codeigniter!

Least pretentious. Most flexible. Best performance (least over head), with the exception of Yii.

OTOH, you could also write your own. Far easier then you might think. There are tons of components out there that would make the job quick too!

I've used Rails, Sinatra, Symfony, CI, and Zend. CI is the nicest by far.

EllisLab's is no longer going to support CodeIgniter. So it might be a dieing framework.

Actually it depends on which framework you are comfortable working with. As for me, I am used to CodeIgniter so I use it in every applications I create.
