function drupal_handle_request

Handles an entire PHP request.

This function may be called by PHP scripts (e.g., Drupal's index.php) that want Drupal to take over the entire PHP processing of the request. The only expectation is that PHP's superglobals are initialized as desired (PHP does this automatically, but some scripts might want to alter them) and that the DRUPAL_ROOT constant is defined and set to the absolute server directory of Drupal's codebase.

Scripts and applications that want to invoke multiple Drupal requests within a single PHP request, or Drupal request handling within some larger workflow, should not call this function, but instead instantiate and use \Drupal\Core\DrupalKernel as needed.

Parameters

boolean $test_only: Whether to restrict handling to only requests invoked by SimpleTest.

Functions that need to be loaded on every Drupal request.

Code

function drupal_handle_request($test_only = FALSE) {

  // Initialize the environment, load settings.php, and activate a PSR-0 class
  // autoloader with required namespaces registered.
  drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_CONFIGURATION);

  // Exit if we should be in a test environment but aren't.
  if ($test_only && !drupal_valid_test_ua()) {
    header($_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL'] . ' 403 Forbidden');
    exit;
  }

  // @todo Figure out how best to handle the Kernel constructor parameters.
  $kernel = new DrupalKernel('prod', FALSE, drupal_classloader(), !$test_only);

  // @todo Remove this once everything in the bootstrap has been
  //   converted to services in the DIC.
  $kernel
    ->boot();
  drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_CODE);

  // Create a request object from the HttpFoundation.
  $request = Request::createFromGlobals();
  $response = $kernel
    ->handle($request)
    ->prepare($request)
    ->send();
  $kernel
    ->terminate($request, $response);
