NGINX rewrite to file with query parameters

I want nginx to rewrite the url to specific php files that can be determined by the content before the first slash

For example:

  1. testing.com/test or test.com/test would be rewritten to test.php

  2. testing.com/test2/variable/another-variable would be rewritten to /test2.php?q=variable/another-variable

I would then use PHP to explode the q GET parameter.

What I currently have tried is:

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ $uri.html $uri.php$is_args$query_string;
}

This works for example 1 I have displayed above, but returns a 404 for example 2 with a more complicated URL.

You can use a named location with the try_files directive to implement one or more rewrite statements. See this document for details.

For example:

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ $uri.html @php;
}
location @php {
    rewrite ^(/[^/]+)$ $1.php last;
    rewrite ^(/[^/]+)/(.*)$ $1.php?q=$2 last;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files $uri =404;
    ...
}

The rewrite statements are evaluated in order. The second try_files statement ensures that the PHP file actually exists and is to avoid passing uncontrolled requests to PHP.
