How to redirect a php4 site to new wordpress

I have a client that has a 10yr old php site, that I am looking to transform to wordpress. As php5 urls no longer show the .php extension, I need to know how to create a proper htaccess 301 redirect for it. Any suggestion or articles / sites that somebody can point me to would be greatly appreciated

thanks

    Hello,
    If you like to transfer the site then you can simply make a theme with lasted wordpress. By this way, the view of the site will be same as old site and you just copy the content from old site and then upload at wordpress. Hope this will workable.
    Thanks

      The issue with that is that old php4 urls have the .php extension and php5 does not...there is a big difference with the search engines, just like www.website.com is not considered the same as http://website.com , thus the need for canonical functions.....anyway I have since discovered a few wp 301 redirect plug ins that will take care of this....thanks anyway
