Has anyone mentioned the PHP security books by Chris and Ilia? Both are
truly excellent.

I have the PHP Hacks book and found it to be very disappointing. I have
a VoIP Hacks book from the same series that is excellent, but I found
the PHP Hacks examples to be  "lightweight." For example the ACL "hack"
was primitive at best.

"PHP Hacks" by Jack Herrington, O'Reilly 2006

This very current and succinct book moves really fast providing 
surgical enlightenment on several PHP programming crucibles, such as: 
maps on web pages, parsing XML, using MD5, dynamic image overlays, 
getting Excel into a database, sending HTML mail, and, yes, even a
single 
lucid AJAX example.

Cleverly leverages existent PHP projects and modules at every turn 
to expedite every task.

Contains an explicit multi-platform "How to Install PHP, PEAR and MySQL"
with special notes for shared environment web-hosting.
