nginx GET .php variables - .htaccess

Question

I have a bunch of PHP files that take .php?id=123 and I need to get them all. How do I do them all in my config file?
I can't seem to figure out how to make use of
get1.php?id=stuff
get2.php?id=stuff
get3.php?id=stuff
and so on...
The problem is how do I do that when they are all under the same root directory?
With the following I get 500 ERROR on the p.php?id=945 but PHP works fine but I CANT login or get POST data to work
server {
listen 80;
server_name site.com www.site.com;
root /home/site/public_html;
location / {
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location ~.*\.(3gp|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|ico|wmv|avi|asf|asx|mpg|mpeg|mp4|pls|mp3|mid|wav|swf|flv|html|htm|txt|js|css|exe|zip|tar|rar|gz|tgz|bz2|uha|7z|doc|docx|xls|xlsx|pdf|iso)$ {
expires 1d;
try_files $uri?$args #backend;
}
error_page 405 = #backend;
add_header X-Cache "HIT from Backend";
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9001;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location #backend {
internal;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9001;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location ~ .*\.(php|jsp|cgi|pl|py)?$ {
try_files $uri?$args /index.php;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9001;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location ~ /\.ht {

}
}
THIS: just 500s
rewrite or internal redirection cycle while internally redirecting to "/index.php"
server {

#try and serve static files directly
location ~* ^[^\?\&]+\.(html|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|css|zip|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|doc|xls|pdf|ppt|txt|tar|mid|midi|wav|bmp|rtf|js)$ {
try_files $uri #inPlaceDynamicFile;
expires 24h;
add_header Pragma public;
add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
}
#allow us to have dynamic css/js files
location #inPlaceDynamicFile {
# examples /css/cssIncludes.css => /css/cssIncludes.css.php
try_files $uri.php =404;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9001;
include fastcgi_params.conf;
}
location / {
try_files $uri?$args /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params.conf;
}
}

"Is this correct?"
Nope.
1) Root should never be in a location block, it should only be in a server block.
2) Apache rewrite for testing if something is an existing file is done with try_files not with Nginx rewrite. See also
3) Your proxy_pass is going to be passing through to the same server which has got to be a circular redirect.
4) You've also got a location block inside a location block, which seems quite odd. Although that may be needed for some advanced config, you don't need it for what you're doing.
I think you probably want you nginx conf to be like this:
server {
listen 80;
server_name site.com www.site.com;
root /home/site/public_html;
#try and serve static files directly
location ~* ^[^\?\&]+\.(html|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|css|zip|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|doc|xls|pdf|ppt|txt|tar|mid|midi|wav|bmp|rtf|js)$ {
try_files $uri #inPlaceDynamicFile;
expires 24h;
add_header Pragma public;
add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
}
#allow us to have dynamic css/js files
location #inPlaceDynamicFile {
# examples /css/cssIncludes.css => /css/cssIncludes.css.php
try_files $uri.php =404;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
include fastcgi_params.conf;
}
location / {
try_files $uri /p.php?q=$uri&$args;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params.conf;
}
}
If you do want the only requests that contain .php to go to your p.php file then you should replace the last location block with:
location ~ /(.*)\.php {
try_files $uri /p.php?q=$uri&$args;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params.conf;
}
location / {
try_files /index.php =404;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params.conf;
}
Edit
Do I need to create specific rewrites for EVERY php file that has a
$_GET[''];?
No - you should be able to pass them in to any file with the try_files like:
location / {
try_files $uri?$args /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params.conf;
}
That would match any .php request to a php file if it exists with the query string appended , and then fall back to index.php if the .php file doesn't exist with both the query string and path passed in.
