How to I get variables from location in nginx?

The location from nginx conf:

location ~/photos/resize/(\d+)/(\d+) { # Here var1=(\d+), var2=(\d+)
}

The regex works pretty much like in every other place that has it.

location ~/photos/resize/(\d+)/(\d+) { # use $1 for the first \d+ and $2 for the second, and so on.
}

Looking at examples on the nginx wiki may also help,

In addition to the previous answers, you can also set the names of the regex captured groups so they would easier to be referred later;

location ~/photos/resize/(?<width>(\d+))/(?<height>(\d+)) { # so here you can use the $width and the $height variables
}

You may try this:

location ~ ^/photos/resize/.+ { rewrite ^/photos/resize/(\d+)/(\d+) /my_resize_script.php?w=$1&h=$2 last;
}
