Whew! Well, since everything is in a temp file, I would try something like this from the directory in which your files reside:

mv -i *.php /home/temp/new_files/*.php3

Then you can:

ls -l /home/temp/new_files/* > /home/temp/new_files/list.txt

ls -l > list1.txt

Compare the two list files to make sure nothing is missing. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
