In a webshop I've build I want to make the imagename more seofriendly.
It's now a uniqid(), in my example the filename will be 1243:

I've got the following working, I want the htaccess to check the following:
if 1234.jpg exists -> redirect to the jpg
if 1234.jpeg exists -> redirect to the jpeg
if 1234.png exists -> redirect to the png
(not in the code, but a all 3 dont exist-> redirect to no-image.jpg would be great)

I have the following code (this is a simplefied version!), but I feel this could be done more efficient:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/product_images/([0-9]+)
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/images/%1.jpeg -f
RewriteRule ^product_images/([0-9]+) images/.jpeg [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/product_images/([0-9]+)
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/images/%1.jpg -f
RewriteRule ^product_images/([0-9]+) images/.jpg [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/product_images/([0-9]+)
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/images/%1.png -f
RewriteRule ^product_images/([0-9]+) images/.png [L]



All 1st lines are identical and will remain that way
All 2nd lines are the same, apart from the .ext
All 3rd lines are the same, apart from the .ext
Every 3rd line has the same .ext as the 2nd line


My .htaccess isn't bad, but I have no clue where to start with this. Anyone who can push me in the right direction? I prefer explanation above the plain answer, so I can fix this myself in the future
