You could buy the Zend Encoder:
http://www.zend.com/store/products/zend-encoder.php
Either stand-alone or as part of the Developer Suite package deal.
You run your scripts through that, and replace your source files with
Encoded files. They're essentially binary dumps of compiled PHP code.
About as comprehensible to a human as an .exe or .so file.
You can mix-and-match your encoded/source files, so configuration files can
be left as editable by the end-user.
There's a free trial that dumps out the Zend logo (this tromps on headers
and FRAME pages) and it also intentionally makes the encoded files about
half as fast as the real product, but you can still get a pretty good idea
of what the product does.
There are also discounts for non-profits, educational, etc.
You'll still want a clear licensing agreement with any clients/customers, of
course.
