route all *.php requests

Hello there!

Have an idea how to route queries like https://my.host/blabla/bla/some.php ?
e.GET("*.php", RouteFunc) is not working

Echo's router doesn't support glob patterns like *.php in path definitions — the * wildcard only works as a catch-all at the end of a path (/*).

The cleanest approach is to use a catch-all route and check the file extension in the handler:

e.GET("/*", func(c echo.Context) error {
    path := c.Request().URL.Path
    if strings.HasSuffix(path, ".php") {
        return phpHandler(c)
    }
    return echo.ErrNotFound
})

Or with middleware if you want it applied before routing reaches other handlers:

e.Use(func(next echo.HandlerFunc) echo.HandlerFunc {
    return func(c echo.Context) error {
        if strings.HasSuffix(c.Request().URL.Path, ".php") {
            return phpHandler(c)
        }
        return next(c)
    }
})

If you need to match the path segments before .php (e.g., capture /blabla/bla/some.php and extract blabla/bla/some), use the catch-all and parse c.Param("*"):

e.GET("/*", func(c echo.Context) error {
    wildcard := c.Param("*") // "blabla/bla/some.php"
    if !strings.HasSuffix(wildcard, ".php") {
        return echo.ErrNotFound
    }
    name := strings.TrimSuffix(wildcard, ".php")
    _ = name // use as needed
    return phpHandler(c)
})
