PHP "hacking" is very much like "hacking" any web based application.
To do that you need to understand how applications are built and what
they (the target) are built to do.

Also, you need to define "hacking". Do you want to get access to
server shell? Fool users with disinformation? Crash the site? Steal
data? etc.

So, instead of hacking an application, perhaps you should write one.
At the end you will be answer your own questions in far greater detail
then some silly "How to pw4n n00bs" tutorial.

But, to answer your original question (even though I think you are
going about it the wrong way):

http://phpsec.org/
http://www.owasp.org/
http://phpsec.org/projects/phpsecinfo/index.html
[Insert list of all widely used database server websites here]

Either way, to break something in a way that would be useful to you,
you need to understand how it works. Code first, break later.

I have a grasp of a lot of php programming, but not enough to apply it to 
hacking. I am by far not a programmer and understand javascript hacking 
enough to do some basic audits for javascript.

Does anyone have any good reading material for PHP hacking and even a check 
list style motions for Auditing PHP apps?

Just trying to get some more broad techniques I mean I know ?Try xss here 
stuff and "/><script> style but I am looking more for how to defeat the php 
apps and gather information from them. Trying to focus more on that area of a 
php app and playing with them a little more.
