Q:

mysqli_insert_id failed with mysqli_multi_query

Project:
Duplicate row data across multiple related tables.
Problem:
In php, I don't seemed to be able to get the id result from mysqli_insert_id after using the 1st mysqli_multi_query.
Status:
I've successfully queried the following using phpmyadmin (manually replacing unit_id with 1 and $unit_id1 with 61(the next corresponding)):

A:

In the end, after a loads of testing, I found that the only way to successfully get the unit_id of the new row was to separate the 1st mysqli_multi_query into individual mysqli_query.Even after doing this, I still found that I was getting a parseerror, so I moved mysqli_insert_id directly below the INSERT query.
Now that I've been able to get the new unit_id, I was able to successfully run mysqli_multi_query for the next duplicated table. However, I ran into the same issue with including the remaining tables to duplicate, so I finally found I had to separate all mysqli_multi_query into individual mysqli_query.
See the working solution below:
NOTE:ID_TABLE is defined in the included config.php file (not shown here). It is a table titled unit_genData
*$id* is a var that represents the initial unit_id of the selected/checked row to be duplicated
