Setting Default Application

[bkk_alien]

is there a way in leopard to globally set a default application to open files with a designated ending?
for example, my system will open ALL .php files in dreamweaver, while i prefer to have the system open them in bbedit ...

i know there is a way to open a specific file with a certain application but i am finding it annoying to have to do it every time instead of just being able to double click the file and have it opened in the prope application.

Select any file with the .php extension then press Command+I to open the Get Info window. About 2/3 of the way down the window you will see Open With. Select BBEdit in that drop down menu then directly below that click on the button labeled "Change All..." That's all there is to it.
