Much like this question
https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/get-variables-and-rewrite-rules
I can not get /shirts/108 to work
I've managed to get /shirts working by removing the / at the start like so
RewriteRule ^shirts/$ shirts/shirts.php
But that second one doesn't seem to work.
RewriteRule ^shirts/([0-9]+)/$ shirts/shirt.php?id=$1
I'm on windows 7 / Chrome/ Sublime / Xampp

RewriteRule ^shirts/([0-9]+)/$ shirts/shirt.php?id=$1
See the trailing slash? You're checking for this pattern:
shirts / ([0-9]+) /
so try adding a slash at the end of your url.
/shirts/108/

12,446 Pointscan you explain why the beginning slash doesn't work for me? I still have my files in a subfolder localhost/shirts4mike2/shirts/
RewriteRule ^shirts/$ shirts/shirts.php
RewriteRule ^shirts/([0-9]+)/$ shirts/shirt.php?id=$1
is what i could get working, but that might be a problem since its relative?

22,986 PointsAt this point, have you started on creating root relative constants?

5,609 PointsHuh I kind of assumed it would have accepted it without the trailing / Thanks! Is there a way of doing either with or without that trailing /?
