nginx doesn't serve php.

nginx tells the fastcgi server what you configure it to tell.

(That's an important difference from what Apache does.)

For this request, the one location that you want to be used is not the
one that nginx actually uses.

http://nginx.org/r/location

A request for /phpmyadmin/index.php will be handled in the second location
above, not the fourth.

Re-arrange the config file.

(I'd suggest using "location ^~ /phpmyadmin/", and inside that using
"location ~ \.php$"; but just re-ordering the regex blocks that you have
should cause the location that you want to be chosen.)
