Rails - rerouting malicious PHP requests

I'm wondering what the best way for me to do this would be, i.e. routing any request with '.php' to the root path..

I've looked through the docs and can find plenty on wildcard routes, but little / nothing on conditional routes. Is there a way for me to do this in the config/routes file? Or would I need to set up a redirect in the controller based on the format of the request?

Thanks in advance.

You can definitely do a redirection from the routes file.

It would look something like:

get '*.php', to: redirect('/'), format: false

The format: false ignores the extension as a determinant for content type (e.g. HTML, JSON).

Here is a way to do it, not sure if the best one though.

get '*path.php', to: redirect('/')
