Basic info about Oracle from newbie

I am just wondering a couple of things about Oracle.

1.  Firstly, how difficult is it to make a transition from Mysql (from the learning side).

2.  Can mysql data be easily imported into Oracle?

3.  What is the most common scripting language used with it when working with large databases.  Eg. mysql uses php.

4.  Is there any problems using PHP with it?

Thanks

Thanks can I ask one more question, if you can help me.  Do you know what facebook and those types of apps would use?  
I think facebook uses MySQL at least partially, you might find this blog interesting: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150098033318920

Reddit uses PostgreSQL.
Hitwise uses PostgreSQL.
