I'm doing the "Enhancing Simple PHP Application" project. And having trouble with one Rewrite rule

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^mike/shirts/$ /mike/shirts/shirts.php
RewriteRule ^mike/shirts/([0-9]+)/$ /mike/shirts/shirt.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^mike/receipt.php$ /mike/receipt/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^mike/contact.php$ /mike/contact/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^mike/shirts.php$ /mike/shirts/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^(mike/shirts/[0-9]+)$ /$1/ [R=301]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^shirt.php$ /mike/shirts/%1/? [R=301]

localhost/mike/shirts/shirt.php?id=103 doesn't redirect to /mike/shirts/103

Hi Sam

I've not done that particular course however I always find this guide very useful when creating rewrite rules.

Looking at the code should the last line have a % or a $?

I'm pretty sure it should have a %1 since it's referencing a () bracket on a previous line. $1 is only used when referencing a () bracket on the same line. If I'm not mistaken.

Cool link though, I will definitely bookmark this.
