A http request process in WordPress

June 20th, 2009 No comments

WordPress is my favorite blog system. Some time I will design some wordpress plugin, like Domain Change. Or sometimes I would design some wordpress themes, like grey blue.

All we know, wordpress is written by PHP, and recently I am reading the wordpress source code. I will share my what I could learn from this project in wordpress online. :-)

This post is just part 1, I will write more later.

When a audience visit your wordpress blog, for instance, your wordpress blog address is: http://www.webtoolol.com . It means the audience type this domain in their browsers, for example, Firefox.

Then, your wordpress blog hosting, as a http server, will receive the audience’s request, and will process the information from the request through HTTP protocol.

Once your server finished processing the request, it will send the browser the information which is the audience wanted.

Every URL request will be processed by the index.php in the WP root directory. So, let’s find the index.php in your WP root directory. It’s very simple, just two lines’ codes. Defined the constant var WP_USE_THEMES to true, and require the wp-blog-header.php in the same directory.

So, let’s go to the wp-blog-header.php.

In the wp-blog-header.php, it did the follow things.

  1. define the var $wp_did_header to true
  2. require the wp-load.php
  3. execute the function wp()
  4. require the template-loader.php

So, all things will finish in this file. Here, I recommend a project named wp-roadmap, you can click and go to have a look at  the intro of this project.

Why Choose WordPress

June 26th, 2008 No comments

I am a WordPress fan, it’s true, I like this dapper blog program. I feel free when I use this beautiful stuff. It give me what I want, more attract me is the WordPress plugins. I usually get  crazy when I find a nice plugin. Besides, I like it’s refinement. All these are making me nuts in WordPress, it’s true.

One year ago, when I was a rookie in Web and I found a lot of big blogs, I admired them very much. So I became a crazy  spider to find a lot of blog programs. I am interesting that there are some many blog programs beyond my imagine, such as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal.

I mainly studied the three programs above, they are all powered by PHP. Joomla and Drupal are not only blog program, I found they were big and complex program, but they can do more the WordPress.

But what I need is just a small and flex blog program, and I final choose WordPress as my preferred blog program.

WordPress really suit for me, I think you will like it, maybe you are already using WordPress. If you are a newbie in WordPress, I think you must remember the WordPress Online, because I will show a lot of WordPress tutorials, it is in my plan list :-)
