drupal_bootstrap($phase)
drupal/includes/bootstrap.inc, line 778
Description
A string describing a phase of Drupal to load. Each phase adds to the previous one, so invoking a later phase automatically runs the earlier phases too. The most important usage is that if you want to access Drupal database from a script without loading anything else, you can include bootstrap.inc, and call drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_DATABASE).
Parameters
$phase A constant. Allowed values are: DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_DATABASE: initialize database layer. DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_SESSION: initialize session handling. DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_PAGE_CACHE: load bootstrap.inc and module.inc, start the variable system and try to serve a page from the cache. DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL: Drupal is fully loaded, validate and fix input data.
Code
function drupal_bootstrap($phase) {
static $phases = array(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_DATABASE, DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_SESSION, DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_PAGE_CACHE, DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_PATH, DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL);
while (!is_null($current_phase = array_shift($phases))) {
_drupal_bootstrap($current_phase);
if ($phase == $current_phase) {
return;
}
}
}
