nginx allows to set root at any level, so alias is required only if
URI is not match FS layout. Here you can use

          location /phpmyadmin/ {
              root  /usr/share;
              index  index.php index.html index.htm;
          }

>         location ~ /phpmyadmin/(.*).php$ {

-         location ~ /phpmyadmin/(.*).php$ {
+         location ~ ^/phpmyadmin/.+\.php$ {

-         location ~ .php$ {
+         location ~ \.php$ {

No.
