Which PHP framework is most like Ruby on Rails?

Question

Which PHP framework should I choose if I want to be able to develop in both PHP and Ruby and Rails without having to make too much of a mental jump when I move from one to the other? It does not have to be an exact copy, but should have most of the basic features of Rails.

That is, it should include similar routing (either /controller/action/id or RESTful); similar model method names (find, findBy); similar helper methods (linkTo etc..); similar validations and similar conventions with regards table names.

Answer 1

CakePHP is essentially a port of ROR to PHP.
