htaccess to rewrite ASP to PHP with query string param change

Question

I recently changed from an ASP site to a PHP site and I need to rewrite the old URL style to a new style. For example:

www.mydomain.com/store/list_view.asp?itemid=1000645

To this:

www.mydomain.com/store/list_view.php?id=1000645

so far I can get an ASP request to redirect to a PHP page using this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.asp$ /$1.php [R=301,NC]

I'd appreciate any help that you can provide and if possible an explanation of how it works, I'm new to working with redirects and .htaccess.

Enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^itemid=(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+?)\.asp$ $1.php?id=%1 [R=301,L,NC]

It matches QUERY_STRING for itemid parameter and captures it's value in %1 via RewriteCond. Then it replaces .asp by .php and adds id=%1 to complete the target URL.
