CApplication is the base class for all application classes.

An application serves as the global context that the user request is being processed. It manages a set of application components that provide specific functionalities to the whole application.

The core application components provided by CApplication are the following:
  • errorHandler: handles PHP errors and uncaught exceptions. This application component is dynamically loaded when needed.
  • securityManager: provides security-related services, such as hashing, encryption. This application component is dynamically loaded when needed.
  • statePersister: provides global state persistence method. This application component is dynamically loaded when needed.
  • cache: provides caching feature. This application component is disabled by default.
  • messages: provides the message source for translating application messages. This application component is dynamically loaded when needed.
  • coreMessages: provides the message source for translating Yii framework messages. This application component is dynamically loaded when needed.
  • urlManager: provides URL construction as well as parsing functionality. This application component is dynamically loaded when needed.
  • request: represents the current HTTP request by encapsulating the $_SERVER variable and managing cookies sent from and sent to the user. This application component is dynamically loaded when needed.
  • format: provides a set of commonly used data formatting methods. This application component is dynamically loaded when needed.


CApplication will undergo the following lifecycles when processing a user request:
  1. load application configuration;
  2. set up error handling;
  3. load static application components;
  4. onBeginRequest: preprocess the user request;
  5. processRequest: process the user request;
  6. onEndRequest: postprocess the user request;


Starting from lifecycle 3, if a PHP error or an uncaught exception occurs, the application will switch to its error handling logic and jump to step 6 afterwards.

}

Returns the localized version of a specified file.

The searching is based on the specified language code. In particular, a file with the same name will be looked for under the subdirectory named as the locale ID. For example, given the file "path/to/view.php" and locale ID "zh_cn", the localized file will be looked for as "path/to/zh_cn/view.php". If the file is not found, the original file will be returned.

For consistency, it is recommended that the locale ID is given in lower case and in the format of LanguageID_RegionID (e.g. "en_us").
