Answer 1

Insert id is a property of the MYSQLI object and not the MYSQLI result object:

$statement = $mysqli->query($insert);
echo $mysqli->insert_id; // correct
echo $statement->insert_id; //not correct

You can get the auto_increment value with

$id = mysqli_insert_id($mysqli);

See mysqli_insert_id for more info.
