Default Image if image doesn't exist with .htaccess

Like the title says, I'm looking for a rewrite rule that lets me redirect the url of a broken image to a default image.

I saw this somewhere, but it didn't work...

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.*).(gif|jpg|jpeg)$
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://sc.msn.com/c/portal/logo/full/msft.gif

Code (markup):

Any and all help is appreciated

 

This one is working for me, just tested it:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*)\.(png|gif|jpg|jpeg)$
  RewriteRule ^(.*) http://your.domain/path/to/image.png [L]
</IfModule>

Code (markup):

Perhaps you forgot to prepend the the dot with a backslash.

 

Hey - thanks. That works for images on the main domain (example: domain.com/image.jpg) but not for images in other directories (example: domain.com/folder/image.jpg or domain.com/folder/folder2/image.jpg etc).

Is there anyway to that? Thanks again and thanks in advance.

 

Ok, my bad, change the second REQUEST_FILENAME to REQUEST_URI and it will work

 

there is a much easier method IF - and only IF you have all your pics in a subfolder of the domain - in folders without text files,
then you can simply place IN the .htaccess OF THAT SUBfolder ( NOT domain / !!! ) another

ErrorDocument 404 /path-to/replacement_pic.gif

that is shorter than rewrite and does the same
but for all - hence it only makes sense of NO text content files in that sub-folder structure.

I have above working since long for wrong wallpaper requests

 

Anyone ever tried placing an ErrorDocument directive isside a <FilesMatch> container restricted to images ?

<FilesMatch "\.gif$">
   ErrorDocument 404 /path/to/image.gif
</FilesMatch>

Code (markup):

I think a seprate container would be needed for each image type, I've had problems with redirecting to images of different types in the past with other applications.
