Nginx How can I shorten the code? - nginx

Question

My nginx configuration:
location ~(\d*?)-(\d*?).news.html{
try_files $uri $uri/ /controller/news.php?id=$2&count=$3;
}
location ~/(\d*?)-(\d*?).journal.html {
try_files $uri $uri/ /controller/journal.php?id=$1&count=$2;
}
location ~/(\d*?)-(\d*?).event.html{
try_files $uri $uri/ /controller/event.php?id=$1&count=$2;
}
location ~ /news.php$ {
fastcgi_cache my_cache;
fastcgi_cache_key $scheme$host$request_uri$request_method;
#cache for 2 hours
fastcgi_cache_valid 200 2h;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location ~ /journal.php$ {
fastcgi_cache my_cache;
fastcgi_cache_key $scheme$host$request_uri$request_method;
#cache for 1 day
fastcgi_cache_valid 200 1d;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location ~ /event.php$ {
fastcgi_cache my_cache;
fastcgi_cache_key $scheme$host$request_uri$request_method;
#cache for 5 hours
fastcgi_cache_valid 200 5h;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
I have three (or more) locations with html url redirected to corresponding php script, and with different fastcgi_cache_valid time.
So that I need to add totally six location routes to handle such logic. But at the bottom, a php location route without caching is needed for other php scripts.
However, all php location route have the nearly same attributes. How can it be shared among all php location route? Or is there any other shorter way to achieve the same mechanism?

I guess you at least can move this code to external file
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
and replace it by something like...
include /path/to/php4fpm-nginx-fastcgi.conf;
Location parsing also looks replaceable
location ~(\d*?)-(\d*?).news.html{
try_files $uri $uri/ /controller/news.php?id=$2&count=$3;
}
location ~/(\d*?)-(\d*?).journal.html {
try_files $uri $uri/ /controller/journal.php?id=$1&count=$2;
}
location ~/(\d*?)-(\d*?).event.html{
try_files $uri $uri/ /controller/event.php?id=$1&count=$2;
}
with
location ~(\d*?)-(\d*?).(news|journal|event).html{
# note it has changed order for vars.
try_files $uri $uri/ /controller/$3.php?id=$1&count=$2;
}
I would go even deeper and use set $var "value" in conditions and then reuse code, but let it be your homework.
