    Is true. Code can be extracted .

    I dont know if Zend is Obfuscating the code ... try to find some program what can Obfuscating your code and after that try to compile with Zend.

    Is imposible to protect better ... only if you find something for a good Obfuscating .

    Regards

    Most if not all of them can be decoded, but most include good obfuscations which helps. If someone wants it bad enough they will find a way, even if the code is totally mangled by the time they get it.

    Even binary executable (assembly) code (.exe .com) is decoded ... so for a scripting linguages is more easy. Reverse enginering is a nice job with a lot of "satisfactions" ! :)

    By default, users can't see your PHP code off your server anyway, as PHP is a server-side language. However, if you're distributing a script or something, and want it encoded, I'd recommend ionCube. They have a very low-cost encoder (which you can do web-based), and the loader you can bundle with your scripts and it works on most servers.
