Restarted Enhancing a Simple PHP App

I restarted this course by clearing my htdocs folder and download the files from the first lesson. When I type localhost, I get the index.php as expected but only the cart (paypal) link works. All other links are going to a folder (localhost/shirts/shirts.php & contact.php to /contact/) and not to the linked page. I have check the href (href="shirts.php") which should go to the htdocs folder. I have cleared the browser history but still the can not get the links to work. When I try to type the full address with the .php, the browser still goes to the folder. Previously I had done about 2/3 of this module, was there a setting somewhere I set that is causing this behavior?

There's the .htaccess file, that if you did the tutorial all the way through, that's probably still on your folder.

Thanks David. It been awhile since I was working on this module. I don't see the file any longer as I emptied the contents of htdocs folder. The behavior being exhibit is exactly what I now recall as a result of the redirects. Just have to figure out how to get the browsers and/or MAMP to forget the behavior.

No prob. You're more than likely going to use the command line interface to find the file. "cd" into the folder "ls -a" to list all items including hidden files and "rm .htaccess"
