rewriterule + image name

[JackpipE]

I need to rename a generic image to the name of the product that's
being viewed on the page:

/theme/images/fullProfile.gif to - /theme/images/
productxxx.jpg

The productxxx.jpg image doesn't physically exist so I just need to
rename the generic one and still display the same image under
different name.

Thanks,
Jack

Hi Jack,

I don't get it.
If the file doesn't exist, what is it excactly that you want to do?

If you need to rename a file: use rename:

It think you mean the reverse?
If a request for /theme/images/productxxx.jpg comes in, and doesn't exist,
serve fullProfile.gif ?

Highly offtopic here, ask in for instance alt.apache.conf iguration (or one
of the many forums almost dedicated to mod_rewrite), or look at the manual
for RewriteCond and the -f switch.
