.htcaccess redirecting individual shirts detail page to shirts.php

shirts.php is displaying properly, when I hover on an individual item it displays the proper id. When I click on the item it simply reloads shirts.php.

I would post some code but I don't know where to look.

Here is the .htcaccess

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

This is shirts.php

<?php include("inc/products.php"); 

if (isset($_GET["id"])) {
    $product_id = $_GET["id"];
    if (isset($products[$product_id])) {
        $product = $products[$product_id];
    }
}
// Redirect when there isn't a valid entry.
if (!isset($product)) {
    header("Location: shirts.php");
    exit ();
}

$section = "shirts";
$pageTitle = $product["name"];
include("inc/header.php"); ?>


    <div class="section page">

        <div class="wrapper">

            <div class="breadcrumb"><a href="shirts.php">Shirts</a> &gt; <?php echo $product["name"]; ?></div>

            <div class="shirt-picture">
                <span>
                    <img src="<?php echo $product["img"]; ?>" alt="<?php echo $product["name"]; ?>">
                </span> 
            </div>

            <div class="shirt-details">

                <h1><span class="price">$<?php echo $product["price"]; ?></span> <?php echo $product["name"]; ?></h1>


                <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
                    <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
                    <input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="<?php echo $product["paypal"]; ?>">
                    <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="<?php echo $product["name"]; ?>">
                    <table>
                    <tr>
                        <th>
                            <input type="hidden" name="on0" value="Small">
                            <label for="os0">Small</label>
                        </th>
                        <td>
                            <select name="os0" id="os0">
                                <?php foreach($product["sizes"] as $size) { ?>      
                                <option value="<?php echo $size; ?>"><?php echo $size; ?> </option>
                                <?php } ?>

                            </select> 
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                    </table>
                    <input type="submit" value="Add to Cart" name="submit">
                </form>

                <p class="note-designer">* All shirts are designed by Mike the Frog.</p>

            </div>

        </div>

    </div>

<?php include("inc/footer.php"); ?>

I'm just guessing that this is where the problem is.
