I am creating a messaging system where I have 4 sections (1)inbox (2)sent (3)draft (4)unread so I decide to go with WordPress add rewrite rules

I have already added one rewrite rule section.

add_rewrite_rule(
    'messages/([^/]*)/?$',
    'index.php?pagename=messagessection=$matches[1]',
'top' );

Now I want to add one more param after the section is the ID(inbox messages id).

so for that, I add a second rewrite rule id.

add_rewrite_rule(
    'messages/inbox/([^/]*)/?$',
    'index.php?pagename=messagesid=$matches[1]section=$matches[2]',
'top' );

if I visit https://example.com/messages/inbox I can get in query_vars

[section] = inbox

but the issue is that if I visit https://example.com/messages/inbox/123 I can get in query_vars

[section] = 
[id] = 123

I am not getting section value, in this case, I want to check in this URL which section Is currently that's why I need section value on this page.

See this is sort of solved in the comments and old but to save someone going down the wrong path here, I believe this is done the wrong way for OP to achieve what they want.

One re-write rule should be enough here, and then use the matches to construct your query.

Firstly, we need a Regex that will match the whole string of what you're trying to parse

Something like this will work "/^messages\/(inbox|sent|draft|unread)\/?(\d*)?$/"
https://regex101.com/r/33F9Po/1

That starts with messages/ has any of (inbox|sent|draft|unread) in the middle, an optional slash and a second optional match group of numbers at the end.

This will allow your rewrite rule to work as follows using your $matches

add_rewrite_rule(
    '^messages\/(inbox|sent|draft|unread)\/?(\d*)?$',
    "index.php?pagename=messages&section=$matches[1]&id=$matches[2]",
    'top'
);
