file tests in subfolder and rewriting

[Boris Bartsyts]

neither of this works too. i've managed to do it this way:

    if (-f $request_filename) {
        break;
    }

    if ($request_filename !~ /cache.*) {
        rewrite ^(.*)\.html  /cache$1.html;
    }

    if (!-f $request_filename) {
	php rewrite rules here...
    }

but it would be nice to know if the original approach is possible
somehow.
