Why nginx doesn't know PHP on os X and starts downloading it?

Question

I have installed nginx, php-fpm and php56 on OS X EL CAPITAN. I used ps command to check whether nginx and fpm is running or not.

I have added the below code block to server block in nginX:

location ~ \.php$ {
                fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME        $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                include fastcgi_params;
        }

nginX listen on 8080 and fpm on 9000. I used lsof command to check that:

php-fpm   22903   root    0u  IPv4 0x5a9bc9209264e227      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:9000 (LISTEN)
php-fpm   22904     fc    0u  IPv4 0x5a9bc9209264e227      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:9000 (LISTEN)
nginx     22931     fc    6u  IPv4 0x5a9bc9208c304cc7      0t0  TCP *:8080 (LISTEN)
nginx     22932     fc    6u  IPv4 0x5a9bc9208c304cc7      0t0  TCP *:8080 (LISTEN)

Any clue about the issue why nginx downloads php files rather than interpreting them?

EDIT1:
Full nginX configuration:

http {
    include       mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;
    sendfile        on;
    keepalive_timeout  65;

    server {
        listen       8080;
        server_name  localhost;

        location / {
            root   html;
            index  index.html index.htm;
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
            root           /usr/local/var/www/;
            fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
            fastcgi_index  index.php;
            fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /scripts$fastcgi_script_name;
            include        fastcgi_params;
        }
    }
    include servers/*;

The URL I have fetched is: http://localhost:8080/info.php

Does anyone has any clue about this issue? I went on every question in stackoverflow with no success:

Please show your full configuration and what is the exact URL you are fetching when PHP file is downloaded. — Tero Kilkanen, Oct 07 '16 at 19:07
@TeroKilkanen I have added the nginX full configuration file in the EDIT section, please have a look. — Alireza, Oct 07 '16 at 19:47

I've just changed the below line:

fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $scripts$fastcgi_script_name;

TO:

fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

It works now.
