what's the simplest way to serve php files through an alias?

[Ilan Berkner]

Thank you all for your responses.

I believe that the missing element in my case was:

alias /usr/local/nagios/share/$1;

in the nagios php processing location, I wasn't aware that I would have to
specify it there as well, but it makes sense now.

Thanks!
