PHP

enhancing a simple php .htaccess problem

I have my path set localhost/treehouse/enhance everything works fine for the php.

however in stage three the .htaccess is RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^shirts/$ /shirts/shirts.php

when I try this in my folder the rewrite does not work. What do I need to use?

I am assuming it is sending the rewrite to the actual localhost folder?

Even though the root path is set, I don't understand why this would not work

I fixed it by setting the path /treehouse/enhance/ this works but is there a better/more correct/best practice way?

I'm wondering if there is a better way too. I did some digging on stack overflow and someone suggested using

RewriteBase /yourfolder/

It kind of worked, but not really. There are still some strange glitches.
