NGINX rewrite php args

Question

I am using NGINX 1.2.3 on Ubuntu 10.4 with php5-fpm.

http://example.com/step2.php?qid=RAUVGXF

I would like to rewrite /step2.php?qid=RAUVGXF as /step2/RAUVGXF

How can I do that?

Part of my NGINX config is like below:

root /var/www;

location ~ .php$ {
fastcgi_param HTTPS on;
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;
fastcgi_pass   unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /var/www$fastcgi_script_name;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_index index.php;
}

To confirm, you want to browse to http://www.example.com/step2.php?qid=RAUVGXF and actually load the asset /step2/RAUVGXF correct (this is opposite of what most people try to do)? Is "RAUVGXF" a script, a static asset, or what? Do you want the URL in the browser window to change, or do you want it to remain as http://www.example.com/step2.php?qid=RAUVGXF? — Doktor J

Thanks tried it but still the same url(no change) after page refresh(reload)

@Ronin: You have to change your code to change the URL. The rewrite directive just makes the server understand the new URL.

As I understand /step2/<qid> must be submitted from the php code but actually step2.php?qid=<qid> executes and nginx interprets

@Ronin: And does this not do that? (It might not; I haven't actually tried it.)

need to check with developer (I am not a code person) how he does that from the php code.. basically what I wanna see URL /step2/<qid> by running /step2.php?qid=<qid> .. will update here once we try it. this seems to be the missing piece of my puzzle...Thanks for the help..
