I don't know if you can nest a location block within a location block.
The Wiki would suggest not but I've never tested it. However, it would
be useful in this case if you could use:

location ^~ /ppg/ {
auth_basic "Hello, Please login";
auth_basic_user_file /var/www/site.com/passwords;
location ~ .\php$ {
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
}
}

That way only your php scripts would be passed to php and others served
directly by nginx.

Igor, is that possible?
