How to execute PHP on Specific HTML Files on NGINX

Question

I'm executing PHP code inside some my HTML files, but since I only want to do this on certain files, I want to create .htaccess rules for specific files only.

My current config works fine but it all my html files, even static ones interpreted through PHP engine;

    # handle .php
    location ~ \.(php|html|htm)$ {
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
        include      nginxconfig.io/php_fastcgi.conf;
    }

What I tried to far is on .htaccess file but looks like it only works with Apache;

<Files mypage.html>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html 
</Files>

Should I create location for each html file I should want to work with PHP?

Answer 1

Use exact matching:

    # add another location:
    location = /mypage.html {
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
        include      nginxconfig.io/php_fastcgi.conf;
    }
