For c++ header files which is better .h or .hpp extension?. if .hpp why?

..hpp is better if the header is not for use with any C module. If it is
possible to use it with a C module, many keep the same header and name it
..h and make sure that it compiles if included in a C translation unit.
However, if your header is for internal consumption only and your project
is pure C++, there is no difference, and I prefer .h because the editors
are usually not very good at supporting different extensions without some
additional configuring.

Conceptually:
..h is for C-compatible headers
..hpp is for C++-compatible headers
In actuality:
..h is for C & C++ headers
..hpp is for some holdouts, old Borland users, and isn't supported by some
compilers all that well
{} is for C++ standard library headers
Also, there is really no consensus for the .h/.hpp as it relates to language,
and as a matter of fact, the lack of consensus is the reason that we have to
live with the complete abortion of a standard dealing with extensionless
standard headers, probably one of the _dumbest_ things the committee did
(wasn't unanimous though). Just goes to show that committees can be just as
dumb as anyone else, but I digress (with prejudice!).

Generally, to something like this, I would say GFY and leave it be, but I
thought I should throw in there that emacs has different font lock modes for
different types of files -- c and c++ syntaxes are colored differently. In
this case, it is useful not to have to tell emacs what file is what. Emacs
assumes .h is a c-language file, whereas .hpp is a c++-language file, so,
for the same reason that you stated for .c and .cpp files, it is also useful
to have .h and .hpp files.
For me. You can do what you want. I can always do a massive renaming binge
on your files if I ever have to look at them.

I use vim (Vi IMproved).
cat /usr/share/vim/vim61/filetype.vim
" C++
if has("fname_case ")
au BufNewFile,BufR ead *.cxx,*.c++,*.C ,*.H,*.hh,*.hxx ,*.hpp,\
*.moc,*.tcc,*.i nl setf cpp
else
au BufNewFile,BufR ead *.cxx,*.c++,*.h h,*.hxx,*.hpp,\
*.moc,*.tcc,*.i nl setf cpp
endif
" .h files can be C or C++, set c_syntax_for_h if you want C
au BufNewFile,BufR ead *.h
\ if exists("c_synta x_for_h") | setf c | else | \
setf cpp | endif
I suppose that I could add suffixes for [header] files
that are intended to be included in C or C++ source files.
I think that the *.tcc extensions are for C++ template files.
I don't know what the *.moc and *.inl extensions are for.

I am sure it can be changed in emacs, and quite easily. Vim also.
I generally use .h for C and C++ headers that I write. All implementation
(IDE)-
created header files I just leave as they are (.h for MS, .hpp for Borland).

What is the PHP equivilent of Oracle bind variables in a SQL statement, e.g.

Which in asp/jsp would be followed by some statements to bind a value to :parameter
I dont like the idea of making the SQL statement on the fly without binding parameters as I
dont want a highly polluted SQL cache.
