I'd suggest these books, I've found them to be very helpful and
well-written:

Real World Linux Security, by Bob Toxen
Published by Prentice Hall

Programming Perl, by Larry Wall
Published by O'Reilly 
(Possibly one of the best programming books ever written)

Linux: Installation, Configuration, Use, by Michael Kofler
Published by Pearson Education

PHP Essentials, by Julie Meloni
Published by Prima Tech

I'm sure other folks on the list have some great suggestions
as well. 

Take care,

Zonker
