.htaccess is not working

Hi,

I'm working with XAMPP. In my htdocs folder I have a folder 'shirts4mike' that contains all the files. I also created an '.htaccess' file and added this code:

RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^shirts/$ /shirts/shirts.php

Can someone please help me out!

Ah, you may not have mod_rewrite on in XAMPP. Check out this article for how to enable it: Enable Htaccess Windows

Those commands should be on separate lines:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^shirts/$ /shirts/shirts.php
