You can use php_inkl_pathinfo for websites that want to support pathinfo - otherwise you can use php and just drop the pathinfo stuff ;) The php-configuration is

localhost

server {
    server_name localhost linos;

	root /srv/http/$host/www;
	index index.php index.html index.htm;

	access_log /srv/http/$host/log/nginx.access.log;
	error_log /srv/http/localhost/log/nginx.error.log;

	location / {
		try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
	}

	location ~ ^.+\.php {
		set $fpmkey localhost;
		include global/php_inkl_pathinfo;
	}

	# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
	# concurs with nginx's one
	#
	location ~ /\.ht {
		deny all;
	}
}

# Won't work properly (404 error) if the file is not stored on this server, which is entirely possible with php-fpm/php-fcgi.
# Comment the 'try_files' line out if you set up php-fpm/php-fcgi on another machine.  And then cross your fingers that you won't get hacked.
try_files $uri =404;
