htaccess to rewrite ASP to PHP with query string param change - .htaccess

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.

301 Redirect entire site AND change permalinks

I need to redirect an entire site from the following structure:
http://www.example.com/01/01/2001/post
to
http://newsite.com/example/post
I found the following code, but was worried that it would point the redirect to the new site and include that date category in the permalink. I have already migrated the site successfully without the date category showing on the new site.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
#
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.newdomain\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Will the above work, or will it point to a 404 because it redirects to the new site with the date category included, which doesn't exist?
Thanks for your thoughts on the best solution to this.
Enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews

RewriteRule ^[0-9]+/[0-9]+/[0-9]+/([^/]+)/?$ http://newsite.com/%1/$1 [R=301,L,NE]

How to redirect a page without the page extension

I am currently working on a signup page and I was wondering if I could modify the URL without the .php extension.
For example, it is now
www.xyz.com/signup.php
And what I would like achieve is
www.xyz.com/signup
Now I am assuming that I might have to use the htaccess file, but I am not sure about it.
First rule will redirect from signup.php to domain.com/signup/.
Second rule will redirect internally so the URL will remain domain.com/signup/ while displaying the content of domain.com/signup.php.
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Redirect /signup.php to /signup/
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+signup\.php\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /signup/? [R=302,L]
# Internally forward /signup/ to /signup.php
RewriteRule ^signup/?$ /signup.php [NC,L]
What you're looking for is called URL rewrite. Take a look at this tutorial for beginners: http://www.addedbytes.com/articles/for-beginners/url-rewriting-for-beginners/.
You can duplicate with .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule singup$ singup.php [NC,L]

How to make htaccess rule for a URL with specific characters?

I need to 301 redirect all ?print=yes URLs to the URLs without ?print=yes that contain the same name in them through .htaccess. Currently the button to PRINT is present in the header of the website so it's more than 70 URLs to fix... Removing the button to PRINT the page will ruin the design quite a bit, so it's not really an option.
I think it needs to be a RedirectMatch rule, but how do I write it?
Example: redirect 301 from domain.com/faq/?print=yes to domain.com/faq
Thanks in advance!
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} ^print=yes$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}? [R=301,L,NE]
I am not sure if redirect can do the same but here is how I would do it with rewrite
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)\?print=yes$ $1 [NC]

Special characters in mod_rewrite url

I want this URL:
http://www.mydomainblabla.com/s/can+you+drill+shrinky+dinks?.html
to be rewritten to this one:
http://www.mydomainblabla.com/search.php?q=can+you+drill+shrinky+dinks?
I am using this mod_rewrite rule in my .htaccess to accomplish this
RewriteRule ^s/(.+).html$ search.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
However, the result is not as I want it, when I go to the first url, I get a page not found message.
The same problem occurs when I visit this url:
http://www.mydomainblabla.com/s/http://www.zakgeldnodig.nl/.html
which should be rewritten into this one:
http://www.mydomainblabla.com/search.php?q=http://www.zakgeldnodig.nl/
What modifications should I make to my .htaccess to make this work?
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 %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+s/(.+?)\.html [NC]
RewriteRule ^ search.php?q=%1 [L,NE]
