Which one to choose a simple PHP Framework?

Question

CMS

Good afternoon!
For a long time I want to make a very simple service, a web application.
I plan to use a very simple, competent, modern framework. But now there are so many of them, but I don’t know anything about them, so I ask for help in choosing.
My framework is:

• MVC
  
• MySQL
  
• Bootstrap
  
• Large ru-community
  
• Easy to learn and use
  
• Ideally - modularity, different libraries, plugins
  
• PHP
  
• Modern and maintained
  

What is required from the application:
Basic functionality: users (registration) can read\send small texts, pictures, videos. Guests only read.
Perspective: caching, tags, comments, post links, user pages, ratings, more.
Please do not advise MONSTERS who can EVERYTHING - I need a little.
Thank you very much for your advice!

Answer 1

1. Don't choose microframeworks. Slim, Silex - into the forest.
2. Don't choose enterprise frameworks. This is for big projects. Although Symfony needs to be learned in order to understand what good code should be.
3. Don't choose unpopular and old frameworks. All sorts of pixies and kohans.
That leaves Laravel and Yii.
They suit all requirements.

Answer 2

There to read something just a couple of evenings and you will understand what goes where and why.
Start with Yii

Answer 4

• MVC (This is no longer a simple framework)
  
• MySQL (I don't know of any php framework that doesn't support MySQL)
  
• Bootstrap (it's just a couple of CSS files and 1 js file)
  
• Large ru-community (then it is probably Yii)
  
• Ease of learning and use (see the first paragraph)
  

Answer 5

If you don't want monsters, then choose from microframeworks.
Slim has already been recommended.
There is also Silex - silex.sensiolabs.org
