They will not be able to read the source as such. If they did mange to decode your script, which is unlikley then they would have Zend opcode rather than PHP Source Code which is the PHP equivilent of ASM. It would be very difficult to reconstuct your source code from this opcode and probably more hassle than actually rewriting the same functionality themselves (IE thats a no its pretty much impossible to retrive source code from encoded files).
