I agree completely, it is for intermediate user sliding into new places on a
monetary and time diet who is doing a little candy store browsing.
Definitely not a cornerstone.
Meanwhile, both Chris Shiflett's "Essential PHP Security" and Chris Snyder's
"Pro PHP Security" are on the recommended list.

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.
