How do I check if file name exists, rename the file?

for example, I upload a image 1086_002.jpg if the file exists, rename the file as 1086_0021.jpg and save, if 1086_0021.jpg is exist, rename 1086_00211.jpg and save , if 1086_00211.jpg is exist, rename 1086_002111.jpg and save...

Here is my code, it only can do if 1086_002.jpg exist, rename the file as 1086_0021.jpg, maybe should do a foreach, but how? 

//$fullpath = 'images/1086_002.jpg';

if(file_exists($fullpath)) {
    $newpieces = explode(".", $fullpath);
    $frontpath = str_replace('.'.end($newpieces),'',$fullpath);
    $newpath = $frontpath.'1.'.end($newpieces);
}

file_put_contents($newpath, file_get_contents($_POST['upload']));

Try something like:

$fullpath = 'images/1086_002.jpg';
$additional = '1';

while (file_exists($fullpath)) {
    $info = pathinfo($fullpath);
    $fullpath = $info['dirname'] . '/'
              . $info['filename'] . $additional
              . '.' . $info['extension'];
}
