Need To Run Multiple Location Blocks

[justin]

I have the following location blocks:

  location ^~ /publish {
      allow 127.0.0.1;

      #Allow home
      allow 99.100.101.102;

      deny all;
    }

Then the following location block to process PHP after:

    location ~\.php {
      try_files $uri =404;
      fastcgi_index index.php;
      fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
      fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
      fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
      include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
    }

The problem is that a request to /publish/execute.php is only hitting
the first location block, and not hitting the fastcgi PHP execution
location block. How can I make the publish location block also check for
PHP files and if so, execute them according to the second location
block?

Thanks.
