Under GPL no-one ever has to distribute source to anybody they haven't
already distributed the software (or a derivative of the software) to.
So you are correct. Your client is under no obligation to distribute
to anybody. You are under obligation to distribute source to them
(which you have fulfilled as it was a source distribution in the
first place) and no-one else.
When a PHP compiler turns up more of the GPL will be relevant, but
until then a fair bit of it is redundant.
