RewriteCond not working with Query String

Question

I'm working my way through PHP and I'm getting stuck on the RewriteCond for the shirts4mike website, where the address shirt.php?id=104 should redirect to /shirts/104/
My .htaccess file is the following:
```php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^shirts4mike/shirts/$ /shirts4mike/shirts/shirts.php
RewriteRule ^shirts4mike/shirts/([0-9]+)/$ /shirts4mike/shirts/shirt.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^shirts4mike/receipt.php$ /shirts4mike/receipt/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^shirts4mike/contact.php$ /shirts4mike/contact/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^shirts4mike/shirts.php$ /shirts4mike/shirts/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^(shirts4mike/shirts/[0-9]+)$ /$1/ [R=301]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^shirt.php$ /shirts4mike/shirts/%1/? [R=301]
```
What is really frustrating is that the code works for one page, haha. When I enter shirt.php?id=103, I get shirts/103/
But for any other id, it will not redirect.
Side note, my directory looks like this:
php
htdocs
   .htaccess
   shirts4mike/
      index.php
      contact/
      receipt/
      shirts/
      etc...

Any help would be appreciated!

Hey Jack,
I read some other people's comments on other posts in the forums and it seems like chrome caches the url if you type it in before you finished the .htaccess file. Try deleting your cache and see if it works.
Alternatively try it in Firefox or IE.
Hope you can get it to work!
