Re: Newbie questions for the PHP5 experts in this ng

Following on from Josse Barrera's message. . . 
Hi All,

I have just recently (~ 3wks) playing around with PHP. I come from an
OOP background (mostly C++) so I have taken to PHP5 like a duck to
water. However, I have a number of nagging questions that I have not yet
manage to resolve (all the websites I have visited seem to assume I
already know the answers - or could it be that PHP is so loosely held
together that it lets one get away without a proper architecture for an
application (is "application" the correct term for a bunch of PHP
scripts running server side or is there another term?)

Please define "proper architecture" :)

You might like to ponder how an 'application' would help out Apache (or any web server) which has the job of delegating lots of different requests to PHP.

All your other points can be 'explained' better (for example how security works) if you think in terms of serving web pages rather than syntax/type checking/language constructs.
