Nginx Rewrite Causing Wrong Path for PHP Script

Alright guys, I have a large chunk of rewrites to help clean up my url's a bit on my site.. On my local machine I am running Apache and just use an .htaccess file and normal php as a module, so no problems there..

But on my server however, I am running Nginx and running PHP as a fastcgi process. In my site's config file I have my fastcgi_param set to /home/user/html/public$fastcgi_script_name ...

Well I need a way to change the value of fastcgi_script_name when I have modified (search friendly..) url's that are being rewritten. Because instead of grabbing the script name, like public/text.php?x=z it will grab public/text/post-title.html and then throw me a "No input file given." error (because there is no file there..) .

How should I go about sending the true PHP script name to my fastcgi_script_name variable ? It just grabs the URI of the PHP script.. what other options are there ?

Thanks, Stewart.
