What are the advantages & disadvantages of using drupal?
Advantages of the Drupal way of doing things:
1. It's consistent. For example, if you always use the "correct" way to print out usernames, changing the style of those printed usernames in one place changes them across the entire site.
2. It's integrated.
3. It's convenient.
But there are some disadvantages:
1. It's slow(er).
2. It uses memory.

What is MVC architechture
I will explain this based on drupal
MVC means MODEL VIEW CONTROLLER
Controller
Controller receive input from user and tells the model & view to perform the input & get that response from it & displays.For example.In drupal index.php is the controller
View
It is an user interface element.Makes the model more intractable with user.For example. themes in drupal is considered as view.
Model
Manages data & behavior of the domain.It responds to the request from controller.
For example.Modules & database comes under the model

How does drupal works?
1. In htacces file index.php page will be mentioned as first processing page of drupal.
2.In index.php bootstrap.inc file has been included which is core part of drupal
3.Then a function menu_execute_active_handler() is called
4.In the above function will check whether any call back is there at address bar else it will get the default call back defined in drupal.
5.menu_execute_active_handler() WILL also check whether there is any access denied for this callback,site is offline,callback not found.
6.Drupal will process this callback return the page content in string.
7.Then Drupal theme the string content by calling theme_page function
8.drupal_page_footer() is called to display the footer content
