7 - Unit 1: The Page Call Process in Drupal

The page call process details what Drupal goes through to deliver the HTML you see in your browser. It starts when the server running Drupal receives a request from a client, such as a browser, all the way through to that server returning Drupal’s response. With Drupal, the most common HTTP response is a fully rendered HTML page, although the response could be in JSON, XML or other response formats. In performing a page call, Drupal utilises an architecture where the index dot php file acts as a front controller. More specifically, it’s a front controller running the Symfony framework.
