I've heard there's a difference between a fluid ounce and a solid ounce? Is one cup of raisins the same as one cup of milk?

Yes, there is a big difference. It is really fluid (liquid) or dry measure. One cup of milk weights 8oz, while one cup of raisins actual weights just more than 4oz.
All the measuring containers are marked in the liquid measure, whether it is ounces or cups.
That is the easiest way to explain it, without getting into the specific gravity of an item.

A fluid ounce is by volume a solid ounce is by wieght. If a recipe calls for 1 cup of raisens you use a 1 cup measuring cup

They're the same thing for water, but a fluid ounce is a unit of volume (two tablespoons), and a solid ounce is a unit of weight.
