nginx regex with multiple options

Question

I would to make a Regex (I use Nginx) to have something like this :

Example of output :

/m/signup
/en/signup
/fr/m/signup
/en/m/signup

I tried something like this :

rewrite ^/(m|(fr|en)|(fr|en)\/m)/(signup|otherpage)$ /$2.php?p=$1 last;

the parameter "p" should be either "m", or "en", or "fr", or "fr/m" for example.

but it doesn't want to work..

Any idea ?

What if you use ^/((?:fr|en|m)(?:/(?:fr|en|m))?)/(signup)$? It will also match /fr/fr/signup or /m/m/signup though - is it OK? Also, try ^/((?:en|fr)/m|m|(?:en|fr))/(signup)$. Or is the problem in capturing the language abbreviation? — Wiktor Stribiżew

You can use

^/((?:en|fr)/m|m|(?:en|fr))/(signup|otherpage)$

I used this instead of (m|(fr|en)|(fr|en)\/m):
