How about using your Web-server settings to restrict php to process only directories to which you have sole access rights? Any directories to which your students could upload would then not run php even if they upload it! This is trivial in Apache, for example, by placing your AddType application/x-httpd-php directive within a <Directory ...> container. Cheers!
