Answer 1

Use padding for the string

$name = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_POST['name']);
$id = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_POST['id_last']);
$id2 = "$name".str_pad(++$id, 4, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT);
$sql="INSERT INTO file (name, unique_id )
VALUES ('$name','$id2')";

Try with this

$id = "ABHI1";
$IncrementID =  substr($id, -1) +1;
echo substr_replace($id,$IncrementID,-1);

Out put

ABHI2
