Running php code inside an image file on a certain directory from nginx

Question

We recently migrated to nginx and we need to transfer as well our htaccess config the like below from a certain directory/path(www.domain.com/images/test.jpg) in which that image file contains a php code that we want to run.

AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php56 .jpg .png .gif

Did some research and found examples below, but since I am not really that familiar with how to configure nginx, I am not sure why it isn't working.

first:

location ~ \.(php|jpg)$ {
    try_files $uri =404;
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
    fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    include fastcgi_params;
}

second:

location ~ .*\.php$ {
   root   /var/www/html/www.domain.com;
    if (!-f $request_filename) {
       rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1;
       break;
    }
  include        fastcgi_params;
 #root           html;
 fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
 fastcgi_intercept_errors off;
 fastcgi_index  index.php;
 fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /var/www/html/www.domain.com$fastcgi_script$
}

I hope some can help me.

location ~ ^/pathname/images/(.*)\.(jpg|png|gif)$
{
    fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    include        fastcgi_params;
}

Answer 1

Can you try this code:

location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;

    add_header        Cache-Control public;
    add_header        Cache-Control must-revalidate;
    expires           7d;
}

You might need to modify /index.php?$is_args$args part on the try_files line so that you get the correct parameters for your script, as your initial question didn't show clearly what the parameters are you want.
