How to configure location in nginx to give all static except php?

Question

Nginx

Hello!
Tired of specifying a location like:

location ~* \.(jpeg|jpg|gif|png|css|swf|avi|js|pdf|txt|tar|zip|rar|html|exe|ico|png)$

, and then think about whether I forgot which extension.
Is it possible to make it so that all files are given to Nginx by default, and Apache processes only .php?
Or is it against Nginx principles?

Answer 1

location ~* \.php$ {
   here proxy pass
}
