The faster way (0.7.x):

location ^~ /ppg/ {
auth_basic "Hello, Please login";
auth_basic_user_file /var/www/site.com/passwords;

location ~ ^/ppg/(email|print)/(quote|ack|amend)(\d+)\.pdf$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;

fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /path/to/php/ppg/index.php;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING view=$2&act=$1&id=$3;

# fastcgi_params0 must have no SCRIPT_FILENAME and QUERY_STRING
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params0;
}

location ~ .\php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
}
}

The slower way:

location ^~ /ppg/ {
auth_basic "Hello, Please login";
auth_basic_user_file /var/www/site.com/passwords;

rewrite ^/ppg/(email|print)/(quote|ack|amend)(\d+)\.pdf$
/ppg/index.php?view=$2&act=$1&id=$3
last;

location ~ .\php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
}
}
