str_replace so I can redirect with htaccess

[zeeba42]

I have remade my company webpage using very little php mostly because I don't know it however the last web designer seemed to love it and now all the links that are out in the big www start with "?p=" and I can't do a 301 redirect on those pages. how do I rewrite those links as they are coming in to change ?p=page to page/php so I can properly redirect them in my htaccess file. Redirect 301 /?p=oldpage http://www.mypage.com/newpage.php/ won't redirectRedirect 301 /oldpage.php http://www.mypage.com/newpage.php/ will redirect I found this in his index.php file and I think thats what he used to change the .php to ?p= $page = (isset($_GET['p']) ? $_GET['p'] : $homePage);$page = basename($page);$page = str_replace(".php","",$page);if(!file_exists($page . '.php')){$page = $errorPage;

The browser still gets the index.php page, when you request a directory name instead of a filename (e.g. www.google.com/ instead of www.google.com/index.pl) then the web server looks for an index page in that directory and uses that, so it's running the index.php. He just has it set up to look for the querystring variable and include another PHP file based on that value.
