Someone else will have to answer those questions for you, but I did have some thoughts that might help. You could probably use a PHP compiler. Release your compiled application with an agreement that your customer signs. You're basically licensing it for their use under specific conditions which you both define and agree upon. Next, give them copies of code that you'd like to share with them after they sign a second agreement that defines acceptable uses of the code. Finally, come up with a third agreement that defines the scope of work that you'll be doing for them and include things that define intellectual rights, what work will shall be done, prices, etc.. You can probably do a search for legal contracts and agreements on the Internet that include stuff on intellectual rights. You could also probably find copies of job proposals and agreements that has a lot of information for you.
