If you want something like "if ($uri ..." then you should use the "location"
directive: http://www.nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#location

Use try_files instead:
http://www.nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#try_files

e.g.:

location / {
try_files $uri @index_php;
}

location ~* upload$ {
client_max_body_size 200M;
...
}

location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass php;
include fastcgi_params;
}

location @index_php {
fastcgi_pass php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $uri;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /path/to/your/index.php;
}
