RewriteRule in EnhancingPhp App gets overridden??

This is my rewrite rule:

RewriteEngine On

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

When i enter one of the rules as URL or click on the corresponding link. In both cases i always get the first site "/shirts/shirts.php".

It seems like it interprets the second RegularExpression as it would fit the first and ignores the "/[0-9]+ part/

How is that possible??

Did you add the condition in shirts/shirt.php (the single shirt page) to return to the shirts/shirts.php (all page) if the ID couldn't be found?

Thank you.... It seems like i included the files on the shirt.php site in the wrong order and had some typo in the products.php.

I did the video again and now it works.
