Huh? Are you talking about `$_SERVER['PATH_INFO']` in PHP?

If your URL ends in ….php/SMS then this regex/pattern will not match. Thus the
rest of the block is irrelevant.
Either find a regex/pattern that will match your URLs or use a different method
to supply parameters to your script. (URL parameters come to mind for example.)
Note: This has nothing to do with OpenBSD or even PHP. This is just an nginx
configuration problem. So you may be better off asking somewhere where nginx
experts hang around. I don’t use nginx so I don’t have a ready solution for
you. But that said, a quick search turned up this:
FWIW: fastcgi_split_path_info seems like it could solve your problem:
