How can I tell PHPStorm to find references to rewritten URLS?

Question

I wanted to rename one of my files, mypage.php into myprofile.php, but PHPStorm does not find any file references.

In the code, mypage.php is referenced without the file extension. For example:

<a href='../user/mypage/'>    

So it has to look for mypage, not mypage.php and rename it myprofile, without file extension.

How can I tell the program to do this?

Answer 1

IDE cannot do that because (as you have mentioned yourself) the file name does not match actual URL reference.

Your only option here is to use ordinary Find & Replace functionality, e.g. Replace in Path to find all occurrences of /user/mypage/ and replace them into /user/myprofile/ in all files in a project (note; you can limit the scope for this action to a specific folder or custom scope -- check docs)
