i have configured my Wordpress website product detail's permalink to follow "Mysite/products/product_name"
url pattern
but the old pattern "mysite.com/product_details.php?id=1"
still working.
is there any way i can redirect the old url to new one .

You will need to edit the product_details.php
file and add the code as below.
<?php
if(!empty($_GET['id']) {
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: http://YOUR_DOMAIN.TLD/?p=" . $_GET['id']);
exit();
}
?>
Please replace YOUR_DOMAIN.TLD
with your domain.
The above code will redirect to your main site with id and it will generate the correct link and redirect.

Put something like the followng in your product_details.php
:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML Meta Tag</title>
<meta http-equiv = "refresh" content = <?php
echo "\"1; url = products/"
echo $_GET['id']
echo "\""
?> />
</head>
<body>
<p>redirecting...</p>
</body>
</html>
You might want to replace the $_GET['id'] part with snippet that translates the product id
to the according product name
and echo that into the link

This is not very well supported in Wordpress itself...
I would suggest, as the others here are saying; to apply manual redirects using a plugin. Have a look at how that approach is done safely in this article: https://www.wpexplorer.com/change-permalinks-wordpress/

Setting Up Manual Redirects
Sometimes, the plugin won’t pick up on the redirect you need, maybe because you want to redirect one post to another or you want to redirect a URL on your domain to a different domain.
In this case, you’ll need to set up a manual redirect.
Go to Tools > Redirection and scroll down to the Add new redirection section. add new redirect
In the Source URL field, type or paste in the URL you want to redirect from. In the Target URL field, type or paste in the URL you want to redirect to. In the Group field, either leave it as Redirections (the default) or select Modified posts if you’re directing from an old post to a newer version. This will give browsers information telling them what kind of redirect it is.
Finally, click the Add Redirect button and your manual redirect will be added to the list of redirects.

The easiest way would probably be to use a plugin such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/.
