About way #1 of yours. You may want to take a look at SOAP and XML-RPC. I think it's easier that way instead of hardcoding your database access credentials into the user's system. Of course, by deleting a couple of lines of code, you are not constrained by anything anymore, but for the legitimate user, that doesn't matter, because he doesn't know how to do it.
There is a brilliant Licensing system for PHPCow, which Gamespot, and all those other clustered sites use. People still try to crack the system, or null as you call, yet it doesn't work.

That goes for cPanel too..
