PHP Enhancing a Simple PHP Application Cleaning URLs with Rewrite Rules Adding A Trailing Slash

RewriteRules code challenge, not passing.

Here are the instructions

~In an earlier code challenge, we wrote a rewrite rule so that the web page http://localhost/flavors/ executed the code at all_flavors.php. Unfortunately, this only works if the web address includes the trailing slash. If someone visits http://localhost/flavors, they will see a 404: Page Not Found error. We'll need another rewrite rule to redirect from /flavors to /flavors/. Add a new line to the htaccess file below to accomplish this.

I have this bit of code from the challenge...

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^flavors/$ /all_flavors.php
RewriteRule ^flavors$ /flavors/

The third line is the failing portion.
