You don't need to pass by reference and you should be able to ommit the length
parameter. You should probably bind $Question and $Answer as well. That way
your queries will be more efficient and you dont have to worry about escaping
quotes.
Also your SQL should be
"INSERT INTO mdfaq VALUES (sequence.nextval, '$Question', '$Answer') returning
ID into :id"
ID should be the column name of your primary key column.
ocidefinebyname is useful for pulling columns out of Oracle so you don't need
to make calls to ociresult() all the time. I actually don't see much benefit
over using fetchstatement()
