Codeiniter - what is going on in the background

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hi, I've used CI to build some projects, but i would like to know what is going on in the background. In general I would like to get some knowledge in implementing the MVC pattern, how bootstrapping is done etc. Any help on which files to look at, blogposts, etc would be greatly appriciated.

I recommend you took a look at the index.php and just follow the path of each request and how it is passed from functions to methods and back and forth. That should help you understand how CI is working/implemented.

For basic MVC explanation you might wanna have a look at
http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql/mod...oller.html
and
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/2505...ler-Design
even though every tutorial explains MVC a little different since the definition is not 100% strict on how it is implemented in the end.
