I wrote a little 'hack' to mimic modrewrite for IIS. When you get a
404 error page in IIS, you get the URL of the originally requested
page in the $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] variable. So by creating a custom
404 error page with this knowledge you can mimic the basic
functionality of modrewrite:

<?php

/*
Simple PHP script that imitates mod_rewrite for IIS 6.0
Set this script to be your 404 error document in the folder where you
want mod_rewrite to be enabled

Your rule can contain regular expressions in the Perl 5 syntax (PCRE).
You can use references in your target ($1, $2, etc) to refer back to
parts of your rule.
*/


$rule = "/(.*?)\/content\/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)\/([0-9]+)/m"; // Original URL
that is typed in the browser
$target = "/oilpowered.com/index.php?type=$2&id=$3"; // Redirect to
the new URL. Only relative URLs!


$qs = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
$url = substr( $qs, strpos( $qs, ";" )+1 );

// TODO: $page - preg_replace() in the if clause, to save one regexp?
if( preg_match( $rule, $url ) > 0 )
{
$page = preg_replace( $rule, $target, $url );

header( "Referer: " . $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] );
header( "Location: " . $page );
}
?>

Hope this helps,
