Hi, after upgrading from PHPMaker 2020 to 2023 I have an issue with changing the address URLs.
for example, login.php is changed to login, logout.php to logout and also index.php was added as favourite to the users' browsers.

what is the best way to redirect them from login.php to login incase if they click on the old URL?

Assume you use Apache, you may read Redirecting and Remapping with mod_rewrite.

Hi, thank you. the following code on Route_Action works for me:

    $app->get('/login.php', function ($request, $response, $args) {
        return $response->withRedirect("login");
    });
    $app->get('/logout.php', function ($request, $response, $args) {
        return $response->withRedirect("logout");
    });
    $app->get('/home.php', function ($request, $response, $args) {
        return $response->withRedirect("home");
    });

Although it might work for you, it is not quite correct to add "routes" like that. I suggest that you use .htaccess. If you don't want to customize the .htaccess, you may make an extension to add your rules to the .htaccess.
