Change your code accordingly

$sql1 = "set @uid:=(select chat_id from chat_notify where online=1 and engaged=0 limit 1)";
$sql2 = "update chat_notify set engaged=1,emp_id=1 where chat_id=@uid";
$sql3 = "select @uid";

$mysqli->query($sql1);
$mysqli->query($sql2);
$res = $mysqli->query($sql3);

and then get your query result usual way
