I am trying to build an nginx configuration for an Single Page Application that accesses PHP code through an API. What I am trying to do is map an ajax call of the form /api/xxx through to a file in project_directory/php/xxx.php

So I have a location block like this:-

location ~* /api/(\w+) { root /path/to/project_directory; try_files /php/$1.php =404; ... call fastcgi gateway }

I need to set up $fastcgi_script_name so that it will set all the correct environment variables. Does it do this when try files matches?

You need to ignore $fastcgi_script_name and replace any fastcgi_param directives with your re-mapped value. Your location block might start like:

location ~* /api/(\w+) { root /path/to/project_root; set $my_script_name /php/$1; try_files $my_script_name =404; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $my_script_name; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$my_script_name; ... }

Obviously commenting out any conflicting fastcgi_param directives.
