How to use location before rewrite

Server NGINX
1

I have a set of rewrite rules as

rewrite ^/(.*) /script.php?file=$1 last;

location ~ .php$ {
php proxy
}

but I want to make a few exceptions as

location = file1|file2|file3 {
static delivery
}

but rewrite will change any static file to php file before the latter
location.

I cannot use rewrite inside the location, as it should generate php
script
before location (and I have other locations for subdirectories too).

Hi there,

the answer to the question in the Subject: line is “you don’t”.

location = file1|file2|file3 {
static delivery
}

Depending on the full plan, perhaps either put your rewrites inside
“location / {}”; or add earlier rewrites of the form

rewrite ^(/file1)$ $1 last;
