nginx url rewrite (No redirection )

Question

Hi I want to make a nginx rewrite as fllowing

http://my-domain/Canada

to

http://my-domain/rates/callrates.php?c=Canada

user will see the url as http://my-domain/Canada and the php will execute the page in the following url

http://my-domain/rates/callrates.php?c=Canada

how to enable this in nginx.conf ?

 server { listen 80; server_name my-domain.com; access_log /home/www/my-domain/logs/access.log; error_log /home/www/my-domain/logs/error.log; root /home/www/my-domain/public_html; location / { index index.php login.php; try_files $uri $uri/ $uri.php?$query_string @extensionless-php; error_page 404 /404.php; } location ~* ^/(?<country>\\w+)$ { rewrite ^ /testring/callrates.php?c=$country last; } location ~ \\.html$ { if (!-f $request_filename) { rewrite ^(.*)\\.html$ $1.php last; } } location ~ .*\\.php$ { include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/www/r2wconnect.com/public_html$fastcgi_script_name; } location @extensionless-php { rewrite ^(.*)$ $1.php last; } }

Answer 1

Assuming that you already have a working PHP configuration...

If your domain does nothing else, the default action could be to invoke the script with:

location / {
    try_files $uri /rates/callrates.php?c=$uri;
}

The above has the side effect of leaving in the leading / .

If you want to make the rule more specific, you could protect it with a regular expression (which also extracts the country name correctly):

location ~* ^/(?<country>\w+)$ {
    rewrite ^ /rates/callrates.php?q=$country last;
}
