Nginx rewrite assistance request - nginx

Question

To make a long story short, I have an osCommerce installation that has been running on an Apache server for years using osCommerce's "Search Engine Friendly links" so that the links look like product_info.php/products_id/26 instead of product_info.php?products_id=26.
Well, now I've moved to an Nginx server with PHP5 and the Search Engine Friendly links just won't work for me now. BUT I have links all across the web pointing to my shop using the "friendly" links, so I have to figure out a way to redirect any url that is like this:
product_info.php/products_id/26
into this
product_info.php?products_id=26
and
index.php/cPath/19
into
index.php?cPath=19
and
product_info.php/cPath/19/products_id/207
into
product_info.php?cPath=19&products_id=207
Anyone good with Nginx rewrite rules, or who knows how to make the osCommerce built-in SEO urls work with Nginx? The osCommerce urls don't require any htaccess rewrite rules; it looks like it's all taken care of using PHP code.

Here we go:
rewrite "^/product_info.php/products_id/(\d+)" /product_info.php?products_id=$1 permanent;
rewrite "^/index.php/cPath/(\d+)" /index.php?cPath=$1 permanent;
rewrite "^/product_info.php/cPath/(\d+)/products_id/(\d+)" /product_info.php?cPath=$1&products_id=$2 permanent;
