CodeIgniter is the best MVC framework for PHP to master mainly because the documentation is superb and easy to understand so there isn't much of a learning curve.

It's super versatile, fast and powerful! Use it!

I started using Code Igniter few months ago and So far it looks great to me. Short learning curve, lots of in built libraries and excellent documentation makes it perfect for small to medium projects.
We are developing web applications using code igniter and I must say, it rocks.
