Nginx configuration with Slim Framework, How to keep the .php url

Question

My server has just wiped out by the provider, and I don't have the backup of the Nginx configuration file. It was completely lucky I got it working, now I don't know what to do.

So I am having multiple files to do some specific things, and I am using Slim Framework on each file. The idea is to keep the php extension on the URL. Something like this:

www.example.com/service.php/customer/1
www.example.com/api.php/data
www.example.com/test.php/other-data/5

Does anyone have some clue on this? I really forgot what I did before with the configuration.

Thank you in advance

If somehow someone goes here, I finally found the answer.

server {
listen   80; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied

root /usr/share/nginx/www;
index index.html index.htm;

# Make site accessible from http://localhost/
server_name localhost;

location / {
}

location /doc/ {
    alias /usr/share/doc/;
    autoindex on;
    allow 127.0.0.1;
    deny all;
}

location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
    if (!-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name) {
      return 404;
    }
    include fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
}}

As suggested in the comments, it's probably a better idea to rewrite your urls so that '.php' is removed :

Your NGINX configuration file should then look like this :

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  example.org;
    rewrite ^/(.*).php/(.*) /$1/$2    //add this line to get rid of '.php'
}

See : http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_rewrite_module.html for in-depth information.

Don't forget to restart your NGINX service after editing its configuration.
