Extensions. .php hid.

When requesting the site.com/username type site.com/username nginx site.com/username to first check if there is a file like username.php , and if there is no such file, then substitute it with a link like site.com/profile.php?user=username

Well and so on the course I checked the presence of the file, and if there is no file, then I substituted the variable.

On Apache, it should look something like this:

 RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} >"" RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ profile.php?user=$1 [L]

How to do this for nginx ?

you can use approximately this location :

 location ~ ^/([^.]+)$ { try_files $uri.php /profile.php?user=$1 =404; }

see documentation and examples for try_files directive
