nginx location contains string + end with

Question

How to match for location in Nginx:

I tried location ~ /render/framed/ { just for contains "/render/framed/" and it works. But couldn't find how to specify, must end with .php

Tried: location ~ /render/framed/+\.php$ {

Is it possible?

Try /render/framed/.*\.php instead of /render/framed/+\.php$ — builder-7000

Actually, location ~ /render/framed/.*\.php$ { should work (mind the $ anchor). Probably, you may need to use double quotes, location ~ "/render/framed/.*\.php$" {, not sure though. Also, try replacing ~ with ~* for case insensitive matching. — Wiktor Stribiżew

Yes, should be working but it's not because it's a 404 response error_page 404 = /url_rewriting.php; and location does not work for 404 response. — London Smith

A quick search tells me that NGINX uses the good old PCRE regexp flavor. So is this what you want -

Sometext /render/framed/ .php - Should match

Sometext /render/framed/ .txt - Should not match

Then the below pattern should work. If it does not, can you give some test strings and the desired output.

.*(?:\/render\/framed).*(?:.php)$
