Sounds like you need redirection from either the PHP page
(which you
mentioned previously that the new host will not have PHP
access) so
the next best thing is see whether you can sort out a custom
404 error
page. I'm not really familiar with how the 404 error page
works, but
it should at least have the environment variable that tells
you where
the page came from last. Delete the old pages off the
server, it will
go to the 404 error page because the resource is not found
and read in
the referring URL. Either trim "php" off the end
of the URL or use
the string replace ".php" with ".aspx"
(the 2nd method will allow you
to use query strings as well with your URLs). I would also
add in a
little "catch" statement to display an error if it
originated from the
404 page, tried to redirect and failed.
That is how I would do it, or at least the approach I would
take.
Unfortunately most of my solutions involve either having PHP
support
or access to the server configuration, both of which may not
be
available to you. Maybe if you ask really nicely...

Kris,
Thanks for the reply. The situation is little more
delicate than
this.
The reason I have to use redirection is I have to assume
that people
might
have bookmarked the pages. So if someone has a link like
http://www.xyz.com/h
ome/test.php I want to get them redirected to
http://www.xyz.com/
home/test.aspx I have the list of 25 most viewed
pages
and fortunately we have the same names for the pages as they
were for
php
site , the only difference they need to be aspx now.I tried
parsing
the
string and tried to get the new URL but it was getting
nowhere.
