Answer
Laravel handles requests via Kernel, middleware, router, controller, and response pipeline, unlike raw PHP which executes scripts directly.
Quick Answer
Laravel request lifecycle: HTTP request hits server, goes through index.php, boots service container, runs middleware stack, dispatches to router, calls controller method, returns response through middleware, sends to client. Raw PHP has no lifecycle - each file handles requests manually. Laravel's lifecycle provides structured hooks for auth, caching, logging, and error handling at each stage.
