It seems this is impossible on nginx,since php virtual is function  
attached to apache,but still posting this in hope how someone managed to  
make this work.For some reason a lot of scripts uses php virtual include  
instead just php include and that means they cant work on nginx unless i  
use SSI with SHTML extension.But i realy dont like SHTML extension plus  
i need to have support for SSI included on nginx configure for  
that,would rather use php extension if possible.
