Connecting from one server to an Oracle server

Hi.
I have got two servers:
1. Unix server with Oracle 7.3 (192.168.104.7)
2. Linux web server with Apache, Php, Mysql (192.168.104.45)

I wish to connect to the Oracle DB server from the Linux one through a Php web page.
At the moment I only could connect with a telnet connection (through Php) and put commands through socket, took output and bla bla.

It's a time-expensive process and it's really mad to connect to a db through telnet-socket.

Do you know a better way?

Thank you in advance.

What are you wanting to accomplish? Are you wanting to be able to administrate the Oracle database via php?
...
You could install the oci client and work through sqlplus.
