What is mod_rewrite called when using NGINX?

[techlists at phpcoderusa.com]

Thanks!!

I have not worked with NGINX in the past.  I have only used Apache.

I am writing some software that I want to run on NGINX the same as 
apache.  I need to get the value of PHP $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].

For apache I have had to put some code in the apache vhost config file 
(is called a directives file?), activate the mod_rewrite module, and add 
some code to my .htaccess file.

I need to do the equivalent using NGINX.

Thank you for your guidance.
