API configure parameters in url

Question

I have created an API and i get all my data with a specific url, and by 'id' like this :

'myfolder.php/1'

So now i try to get my url with a string :

myfolder.php/mystring

in a Htacess for the id i do like this :

RewriteRule ^[^/]+/(\d+)$ myfolder.php?id=$1

but i don't find the good regex for characters i have try like this :

RewriteRule ^[^/]+/([a-z]+)$ myfolder.php?string

Edit : If i call url 'myurl.com', my function getProducts is called. If i call 'myurl.com/1', getProduct($id) is called But if i call 'myurl.com/string', $_GET is empty, and getProducts is called.

   switch($request_method) {

        case 'GET':
            // HERE $_GET is empty if i called a string
            if(!empty($_GET["id"])) {
                $id= $_GET["id"];
                getProduct($id);
            }
            else {
                getProducts();
            }
            break;
        default:
            header("HTTP/1.0 405 Method Not Allowed");
            break;
    }

With your shown samples, please try following. Please make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs. Also make sure your php file is residing in same folder where you are keeping your htaccess rules file.

##Enabling RewriteEngine here.
RewriteEngine ON
##Placing conditions for non-existing requests with rewriterule to php file.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)/?$  myfolder.php/$1 [NC,QSA,L]

@Ygg69, could you please do let me know sample/example url which you are hitting? And what is the error you are getting when you hit it? – RavinderSingh13 May 22 '21 at 12:29
@Ygg69, try changing last rule TO `RewriteRule ^(.*)/?$ myfolder.php/$1 [NC,QSA,L]` once and try again? Please make sure to clear browser cache before testing. – RavinderSingh13 May 22 '21 at 12:41
Just trying this, my $_GET return always an empty array – Ygg69 May 22 '21 at 12:49
@Ygg69, ok when you hit url in browser what happens? – RavinderSingh13 May 22 '21 at 12:52
I have all my data, cause in my switch $_GET is empty, and so getProducts() is called, and not getProduct() – Ygg69 May 22 '21 at 12:54
