  • aphiria

    A simple, extensible REST API framework for PHP

  • Depends on your definition of "unknown", but some of the less mainstream frameworks that I've used or checked out are Spiral, Opulence and Aphiria. There are many others, but these are actually good and well designed.

  • RoadRunner

    🤯 High-performance PHP application server, process manager written in Go and powered with plugins
