I hope you charge for it. That said there are languages where very little backward incompatible changes are made. Java comes to mind. Also: putting each client in a sandbox (VM, VPS, etc) can help you to keep some clients on the old versions, and/or do PHP interpreter migrations on your own timeline.

  Don't update php and freeze the files and the database so they can't be hacked.

    Sure, but what stops them from modifying the database?
