  location ~ ^(?<script_name>.+\.php)(?<path_info>/.*)?$ {

is one possible way.

Then use $script_name and $path_info as you see fit.

"this issue" is "everything works fine, until you use try_files in
the same location as fastcgi_split_path_info", unless I misunderstand
things. It should be easy enough to test -- just comment out the try_files
and see that your request gives the expected response.

That Phalcon doc seems to suggest four distinct and different ways
of configuring nginx, so that it works with four different ways of
configuring Phalcon.

None of them seem to use try_files in the same (useful) location as
fastcgi_split_path_info.

What is the one way that you have configured Phalcon?

What is the matching one way that you have configured nginx?

What request do you make, what response do you get, and what response
do you expect?

If your testing suggests that this is a different issue, it's probably
worth creating a new thread for further responses.

Cheers,
