Cannot figure out how to run a mysqli_multi_query and use the results from the last query

by

From the manual: mysqli_multi_query() returns a bool indicating success.

To retrieve the resultset from the first query you can use mysqli_use_result() or mysqli_store_result(). All subsequent query results can be processed using mysqli_more_results() and mysqli_next_result().

Here is a function that returns the last result of a multi-query:

function mysqli_last_result($link) {
    while (mysqli_more_results($link)) {
        mysqli_use_result($link); 
        mysqli_next_result($link);
    }
    return mysqli_store_result($link);
}

Usage:

$link = mysqli_connect();

$query  = "SELECT 1;";
$query .= "SELECT 2;";
$query .= "SELECT 3";

mysqli_multi_query($link, $query);
$result = mysqli_last_result($link);
$row = $result->fetch_row();
echo $row[0];  // prints "3"

$result->free();
mysqli_close($link);
