php charset problem

[KC]

Hi,

I have a web page contain Chinese characters (charset big5).
If I name the page as mypage.html.big5 or mypage.big5.html
then the browser can identify the charset automatically.

However, if I add "<?php echo <<<END ...mydoc here ... END; ?>"
and name my page as mypage.php.big5 or mypage.big5.php ... well
it doesn't work.

How can I make php or Apache to understand file extension .php.big5
or big5.php.

Thanks
KC

Since that is a php script, I assume you could use the php "header"
function to send the appropriate mime character set header.
