Answer 1

Do you set the correct charset on the connection to the database ?

Check the character_set parameter.

Something like this should work:

$connection = oci_connect(DB_USER, DB_PASS, DB_CONN_STRING, 'WE8ISO8859P15');
                                                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
