Hi all,

Please, how can I define a location to math all .php files ?

Actually, I’m using the following configuration:

> **[server { listen localhost:8090; server\_name .flaviotorre...](https://pastebin.com/RMWWGD4a)**
>
> Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

As you can see, I had to define (line 42) a location ~.php$ { … }  
inside (line 39) location ~\* /test { … } with authentication. It  
worked for me, but, this is the best way ?

Thank you guys!
