custom rule does not seem to work

Hi,

I hope this is the correct way to ask questions as I can't see any forum 
like structure to post anything.

I'm quite new to Snort and got stuck with writing custom rules. I use 
Snort on my PfSense firewall combined with pfBockerNG. I want to block 
every attempt to reach .php pages on my server and have this rule but it 
does not seem to catch any user looking for php pages on my site. All 
requests go through and are found in the log files of the server but 
none in the log files of pfsense.

reject tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> any [80,8080,443] (content:"php"; 
http_uri; nocase; fast_pattern:only; sid:1000001; msg:"Schwachstellen php";)

I added the rule under Snort Interfaces > My Interface > WAN Rules 
(Category custom.rules) AND saved the list.

Did I miss something?

Another strange thing is that everytime I save that list my interface 
gets stopped and I need to restart it manually, is that normal behaviour?
