Nginx Configuration Causes PATH_INFO to Be Missing

When using frameworks like ThinkPHP5, you might encounter issues where PATH_INFO is not found. Below is the solution.

Problem Description

The default Nginx configuration may fail to correctly pass PATH_INFO to PHP-FPM, causing framework routing to become invalid.

Solution

Add the following rules to the Nginx site configuration file:

location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
    # fastcgi_pass remote_php_ip:9000;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/dev/shm/php-cgi.sock;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^((?U).+\.php)(/?.+)$;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
    fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fastcgi_path_info;
    include fastcgi_params;
}
