PHP-FPM Connecting nginx to PHP FPM

this code from /usr/local/nginx/conf/php.conf

Code:

location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files $uri =404;
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
    fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
    #fastcgi_pass   unix:/tmp/php5-fpm.sock;
    fastcgi_index  index.php;
    #fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME    $request_filename;

is outdated according to http://wiki.nginx.org/PHPFcgiExample

it should be

Code:

location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
                if (!-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name) {
                        return 404;
                }
 
                fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                include fastcgi_params;
        }

remember ifisevil (http://wiki.nginx.org/IfIsEvil)? it says that in this case, using if "is more appropriate" and "one of the 100% safe thing to use if with."

see also the testing part. When I use /test.php/foo/bar.php?v=1 in the centminmod default php.conf it results in a 404 not found instead of something like this
