Answer 1

There are a couple of problems. Firstly, if you look at this answer you'll see you have an incorrect variable name and missing semicolon. The query should be :

$sqlcount1 ="SET @a = -1; UPDATE `agent_normal` SET `uid` = @a:=@a+1";

Secondly, to use two queries in one call you need to use mysqli_multi_query .

$result = mysqli_multi_query($conn,$sqlcount1);
