Routing:
PHPMaker 2021 generated applications now use Slim Framework. Slim is a PHP micro framework that helps you quickly write simple yet powerful web applications and APIs. Web servers should be configured to sends all appropriate requests to one "front-controller" PHP file, the index.php, in which the Slim app is instantiated. The Slim app contains routes that respond to specific HTTP requests. Each page in previous versons (e.g. /carsview.php?ID=1) is now a route (e.g. /carsview/1 or /cars/view/1). Each route invokes a callback and must return PSR-7 Response object. With Slim app you can use not only routing but also other advanced features such as middleware and dependency container.

New in PHPMaker 6.0.0 (Dec 2, 2008)

PHPMaker 6 is a major upgrade from 5.x. It is loaded with a bunch of new features, including many frequently requested ones. PHPMaker 6 is probably the most powerful and flexible product of its kind, and yet still easy-to-use as always.
More than a dozen of themes for your selection. You can choose the styles of the grid with matching colors in no time. You can easily tune the theme after choosing one or even create your own themes.
With the new Menu Editor you have full control on the menu items. You can re-order the menu items, add your own menu items for external pages or custom URL and use submenus.
Complementing the existing Grid-Edit feature, PHPMaker 6 offers Grid-Add feature, now you can add multiple records to a regular table or a detail table for a master record simultaneously in the List page.
Previously Auto-Suggest did not support foreign key fields. Now you can also use Auto-Suggest with these fields and type the beginning characters of the lookup values to get suggested values. The selected record's key field value will be properly saved.
Much easier to set up fields for Auto-Fill with the new setup form now. Also, previously only textbox fields were supported, now other fields such as textarea are also supported.
Now Multi-Page is presented as tabs, you can even change the captions of the pages. In addition to Add/Edit page, Multi-Page can also be optionally applied to the View page as well.
Now both server side validation and client side validation are supported. You can use either or both in a project. Custom validation with your own server side and/or client code is also supported by Server Events and Client Scripts (see below).
Previously Export-to-HTML is used as printer-friendly version, now you can have separate versions. While printer-friendly will use the same fields as the List/View page, fields for export to other formats can be different now. You can also change the behavior of exporting the records (all records or only records in the current pages) and the field values (looked-up values or original field values) by configuring the config file or using server events.
Return page - allows specifying custom return URL after adding/editing/registering
MD5 and case-sensitive password
Searching multiple selection values (stored as comma separated values) using partial match (previously it must be exact match)
Collapsible Quick/Extended Search panel by default
Advanced extension settings - allow table/field level settings for extensions
Many other minor enhancements
