Jay Kemp
6,007 PointsI have everything in a sub folder on my server, the URL is: http://crimsonmoonwebdesign.com/shirts_for_mike/shirts/ the code for the link in my header file:
<li class="shirts <?php if ($section == "shirts") { echo "on"; } ?>"><a href="<?php echo BASE_URL; ?>shirts/">Shirts</a></li>

Hope this helps.

9,531 Points<p>Jay are you sure you updated your .htaccess file? Currently the link you provided doesn't work unless you add shirts.php after the slash, which suggests to me that your RewriteRule needs to be corrected. I had a similar problem with subfolders :)</p> <p>Make sure you have something similar to the following :<br> RewriteEngine On<br> RewriteRule ^shirts_for_mike/shirts/$ /shirts_for_mike/shirts/shirts.php</p>
edit: added markdown for better visibility (hope it works)

6,007 PointsIain: here is my .htaccess code after i added the line you suggested.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^shirts/$ /shirts/shirts.php
RewriteRule ^receipt.php$ /receipt/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^contact.php$ /contact/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^shirts_for_mike/shirts/$ /shirts_for_mike/shirts/shirts.php [R=301]
RewriteRule ^(shirts/[0-9]+)$ /$1/ [R=301]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]+)$
I think you you;re sending me down the right path though
