Courses Plus Student 12,817 PointsI don't understand Introducing Rewrite Rules challenge 3/4.
Next, we need to write the first part of the rewrite rule. This is the pattern that the rewrite rule should match in the web address. (Remember that we are writing a rewrite rule that applies when someone visits http://localhost/flavors/.)
Here's my answer from previous questions below. I have not typed and answer yet.
RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^localhost/flavors/$ all_flavors.php

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^flavors/$ /all_flavors.php
Rewrite Rules are not that easy to understand and sometimes they can get really complicated. I suggest you read and do some experiences locally on your server to understand them. Use the tool I specified above to make sure your rules are working before went on crazy try-error testing. The tool allows you to put an url and a rewrite rule and see the final result.
In your case I think the result would be the same but the goal is to change only the flavors part and not the entire url including the localhost.

Courses Plus Student 12,817 PointsSorry, treehouse wont let me submit my question "I don't understand Introducing Rewrite Rules challenge 3/4." It keeps telling my to type in atleast a number or letter. Very frustrating. I try editing, but it wont let me do that either.
