Location recursive downloads php files

[Peleke]

Okay, it works if I add this:

    location ^~ /folder1/admin {
        auth_basic  "Login";
        auth_basic_user_file 
/var/www/domain.tld/www/folder1/admin/.htpasswd;
            location ~ \.php$ {
                #limit_req zone=limit burst=5 nodelay;
                try_files $uri =404;
                #fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
                fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                fastcgi_intercept_errors off;
                fastcgi_read_timeout 120;
                fastcgi_buffers 256 4k;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME
$document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
            }
    }    
         
    ##
    # Pass PHP-Files To Socket
    ## 
               
    location ~ \.php$ {
        #limit_req zone=limit burst=5 nodelay;
        try_files $uri =404;
        #fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_intercept_errors off;
        fastcgi_read_timeout 120;
        fastcgi_buffers 256 4k;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
    }

But that is redundancy and can be complicated if you have many of those
entries and then want to change a .php setting (you have to do it multiple
times).
Isn't it possible to make it simpler?
