Help with rewrite

Server NGINX
1

Hi everyone,

I am using a plugin for my site called VBSEO

They use the following code:

if ($request_filename ~ “.php$” ) {
rewrite ^/(.)$ /vbseo.php break;
}
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^/(.)$ /vbseo.php break;
}

I read the article about IF IS EVIL and thought it would be better to
make this code better.

Could someone who knows about the rewrites and nginx coding please help
me.

I will post the results (if it’s possible of course) to VBSEO so they
can update there rules.

Kind Regards
Mick

the first “if” can be replaced with the following:

location ^.+.php$ {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/vbseo.php;
fastcgi_pass …; # your fastcgi handler
}

not sure that the second “if” is needed, unless they meant to handle all
non-existing files (404 errors) with vbseo.php. this can be done with
the following:

location / {
error_page 404 = /vbseo.php;
}
