I'm not really sure there is much of a difference between the two beyond routing (which the framework handles just like in all the other popular imperative scripting languages), in fact if anything I'd say PHP is more aligned with the "web app" paradigm since the canonical run-times are all intended to be paired up with an HTTP server, as opposed to most others which were designed as general purpose scripting languages. I don't think it makes much of a difference though.
