Nginx extensionless PHP rewrite not working

Question

I have been trying to rewrite my php pages so that they display without their extensions in the browser. For example, a link on my server at www.example.com loads a page called about-us.php and in the browser, the user would see www.example.com/about-us.

I have been trying to follow these tutorials to try and get this to work, but sadly they are not working.

Here is my nginx sites-available/default file content.

# Server Block
server {
    # Listening Ports
    listen 80 default_server;
    listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;

    # Root Location Initialization
    root /home/zach/Documents/Workspaces/www;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;

    # Server Name
    server_name localhost;

    # Root Location
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ @extensionless-php;
    }

    # Error pages
    error_page 404 /404.html;
    error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
        root /home/zach/Documents/Workspaces/www;
    }

    # PHP Handling
    location ~ \.php$ {
        try_files $uri =404;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }

    # Extensionless PHP
    location @extensionless-php {
        rewrite ^(.*)$ $1.php last;
    }
}

All of my links to php pages still display the .php extension in the browser, does anyone have any solutions to my problem?

@AlphaDelta this question is about nginx - it directly involves tools used primarily for programming — scrowler

@scrowler exactly this is a question about nginx, a server software, it is not a programming or scripting problem. — Prime

Add the following line to the exact spot where you think it'd form a loop! :-)

if ($request_uri ~ ^/([^?]*)\.php($|\?)) {  return 302 /$1?$args;  }

More info here: nginx remove .php and .html file extension
