The following illustration describes how a Request Lifecycle works −
CakePHP Request Cycle
A typical CakePHP request cycle starts with a user requesting a page or resource in your application. At a high level, each request goes through the following steps −
  • The webserver rewrite rules direct the request to webroot/index.php.
  • Your application’s autoloader and bootstrap files are executed.
  • Any dispatch filters that are configured can handle the request, and optionally generate a response.
  • The dispatcher selects the appropriate controller & action based on routing rules.
  • The controller’s action is called and the controller interacts with the required Models and Components.
  • The controller delegates response creation to the View to generate the output resulting from the model data.
  • The view uses Helpers and Cells to generate the response body and headers.
  • The response is sent back to the client.
