Most of the frameworks listed here shouldn't be counted as popular because they have low user base and downloads. You cannot compare them with best php frameworks (cloudways.com/... ) like laravel, symfony and yii.

rated Laravel: Simplicity 5/5
By far the most versatile, powerful and beautiful Framework. Its ORM, CI, ECHO, ELOQUENT, etc... are some of the feature the modern web dev should have

I and my team made the following infographic about most popular PHP frameworks. I hope that it will be useful for the audience: webhostface.com/...
