Php dynamic subpage and nginx address rewriting

Question

I created a website based on ajax tech. and now I want to achieve similar effects using php (nginx). The problem is I don't want to create (even dynamically) .php documents for every user or offer or anything. I have templates for every pages like userTemplate.php and it works fine with $_GET method, which fill it with proper data BUT the address is not acceptable, hoe can I convert that requestexample.com/userTemplate.php?id=1 to example.com/users/1. I tried with rewriting it in config files, but then it redirects me to the path /users/1 which is ofc wrong... Is it possible? Please I've already spent hours looking for any answer.

IMHO, it's way more likely that you'll get an answer, if you add your existing nginx config to your Question. — Bbak

Ok, but now it's pure: code location / { try_files $uri $uri/ =404; } location ~ \.php$ { include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf; # # With php5-cgi alone: # fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; # # With php5-fpm: fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock; } What should be there to get it works? — Michalaq

Try this:

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
location ~* /users/(\d+) {
    try_files $uri /userTemplate.php?id=$1;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
    include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
    #
    # With php5-cgi alone:
    # fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
    #
    # With php5-fpm: 
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
}

If you want to go for an alternative approach, have a look at Creating NGINX Rewrite Rules. If you need different, more complicated regular expressions, perhaps start here.

Thank you so much! It solved my problem and finally worked! I only had to add "$uri after try_files" :)

Right, added $uri
