In which file are HTTP requests from the browser handled in Laravel?

In Laravel, the processing of all incoming HTTP requests begins in the public/index.php file. This file is the entry point for all requests and loads the framework core, which then hands over control to routes and controllers for further processing.
The process roughly looks like this:
- In
public/index.php, the autoloader is loaded and an application instance is created. - The request is passed to the HTTP Kernel (
app/Http/Kernel.php), which runs middleware and routing. - Based on routes, a controller or closure is determined, which processes the request and returns a response.
Thus, the key file for initial HTTP request processing is public/index.php.
