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.
