Redirect ALL requests to single PHP file

[iberkner]

Hi All,

We'd like to redirect all requests to a single PHP file.  The
configuration below is what we have but I'm concerned that it would
cause an "infinite" loop and possibly other problems.  We'd like to
redirect ANY request to api.php regardless if the file exists or not. 
Even a request to an existing static file should rewrite to the
"api.php" file.

Is this the correct way? is there a better way?

Thanks

        server
        {
                listen #.#.#.#:80;
                server_name api.domain.com;

                rewrite ^(.*)$ /api.php?uri=$1 last;

                location ~ \.php$
                {
                        include fcgi;
                        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
                }
        }
