htaccess image to trigger php script

I have a site and I want to use htaccess run a script when and image is loaded in the site. I have used <img src="http://mysite.com/script.php> and it works

I need <img src="http://mysite.com/image.png>

And have it run the script at mysite when the image is opened at the site. I guess htaccess is the way to go

PHP * htacces

RewriteRule \.(jpe?g|gif|png)$ script.php [L]

Runs for all the jpe?g|gif|png ? If I only want one:

RewriteRule \image.png$ script.php [L]

Whats does the (L) stand for?

Just for PNG and if you want to pass the name of the file into the script then you can do this.

RewriteRule ((.*).png)$ reflect.php?name=$1 [L,NC,QSA]

$1 stands for the name of the image? like image.png or just image?
