Where do you have the .htaccess located? Where is your shirts folder located? Did you verify that there is no extra whitespace in your shirt.php, or in your shirts.php links?

I had to create the shirts4mike folder, have the index.php there as well as the .htaccess file, and every other folder in the root of the directory. It took me several days to figure this out but it worked.

This is how your .htaccess should look like:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^shirts/$ /shirts/shirts.php
RewriteRule ^shirts/([0-9]+)/$ /shirts/shirt.php?id=$1

RewriteRule ^receipt.php$ /receipt/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^contact.php$ /contact/ [R=301]


RewriteRule ^shirts.php$ /shirts/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^(shirts/[0-9]+)$ /$1/ [R=301]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^shirt.php$ /shirts/%1/? [R=301]

When I add the url http://localhost/shirt.php?id=101 - http://localhost/shirt.php?id=107 I get the correct page http://localhost/shirts/107/. When I add the url http://localhost/shirt.php?id=108 I get http://localhost/shirt/8/ and a 404 error

I would think the problem is in the products.php file however everything looks correct.
