Aside from the Encoding problems, the link provided in the article puts the pickle in the jar.
Encoding Woes
Using the Zend provided packaged install of Apache+PHP, I found it was needed to hack a bit to get the environment with the correct $NLS_LANG. (This can be done by editing the provided {ZENDHOME}/apache2/bin/apachectl, or in an rc script - ymmv if not using the Zend packaged PHP5+Apache2).
Best to set NLS_LANG=$($ORACLE_HOME/bin/nls_lang.sh), so your web server just takes it from whatever Oracle decides it should be. In my locale the default happens to be "AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8". Bryan Cribbs 22:05, 28 January 2007 (CST)
Full Account of the Process
I have just completed setting up a Moodle-on-Oracle integration (including having Moodle's databases populated by the external database via a 'push' mechanism as opposed to Moodle's 'pull' mechanism).
I have created an account of the process (there were lots of snags and issues along the way) and am currently hosting it on my own personal server at home. If someone thinks it might be useful (to include on this docs page) then I have no qualms with anyone wikifying it and putting it onto the page (but I must admit, I'm terrible at wiki syntax).
