That is not possible with PHP web apps since PHP needs all the config files in 
the public dir of the web server. This is the issue that sucks.

The "solution" most used if to "hide" config files with .htaccess and other 
strange methods, but PHP webapps will be always potential buggy apps.

Note that Java and RubyOnRails apps expose never the config files (database 
login and so) in the public directory because a good and secure design. But 
in PHP there is no rules. :(
