1) Maybe I misunderstood something, but I'd say it's a big difference whether "PHP runs Oracle", "PHP runs in Oracle" or "PHP runs with Oracle". As far as I can tell from the marketing stuff on Zend website the third is what their "Zend Core(tm) for Oracle(tm)" means. PHP bundled with libraries to connect to Oracle. Big deal indeed. DBI+DBD::Oracle anyone?

2) IBM support and Oracle support ... you're pointing to some Zend forums. Hows that supposed to be any better than what we have? Post your questions here or in the perl-dbi mailing list.

3) Certificate that everyone passes the first time is just a useless sheet of paper. The reason why they are confident you will pass it the first time is more likely the fact that it's so damn easy a monkey could pass it.

4) As far as big corporation support goes ... Microsoft used to support ActiveState (formerly ActiveWare, formerly Hip Communications) to port and support Perl for Windows.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
