You've got a long way to go before you properly understand all the security issues you've jumbled together -- Took me forever, too. :-)
not to mention the fact that security is a moving target :-)

Hello; Your absolutly right and I freely admit it. I know just slightly more than zero about internet security. :) Can any one recomend some good resources so that I can learn? I'm not looking for "use this function" or "that program", but something that will help me to actually understand.
well we assume (and hope) you have read the 'NEWBIE GUIDE' (currently being regularly posted to the list by Jay Blanchard), if not please do and see where the instructions take you, another option id to keep your eyes on this site: http://phpsec.org/ which has just gone live - not that much info there yet AFAICS but will probably become a good resource (they have people like Andi Gutmans on the board/team/whatever - i.e. people who know where there towels are).
TIA Ray
