Multi Query for inserting then deleting data

I am struggling to understand how multi queries work.

I want to insert data from one table into another, then delete the data from the original table. How can I do this? Is the method below viable?

<?php

$con =  mysqli_connect('localhost:3308','root','');

if(!$con)
{
    echo 'Not Connected To Server';
}

if(!mysqli_select_db($con, 'Database'))
{
    echo 'Database Not Selected';
}

$jobNumber = $_POST['jobNumberInsert'];
$siteName = $_POST['siteNameInsert'];
$phoneNumber = $_POST['phoneNoInsert'];
$firstName = $_POST['firstNameInsert'];
$lastName = $_POST['lastNameInsert'];
$streetAddress = $_POST['streetAddressInsert'];
$linetwoAddress = $_POST['linetwoAddressInsert'];
$city = $_POST['cityInsert'];
$county = $_POST['countyInsert'];
$postcode = $_POST['postcodeInsert'];
$serviceInfo = $_POST['serviceInfoInsert'];
$jobDate = $_POST['jobDateInsert'];
$priority_value = $_POST['priorityInsert'];

$sql = "INSERT INTO table2(jobNumber,siteName,phoneNumber,firstName,lastName,streetAddress,linetwoAddress,city,county,postcode,serviceInfo,jobDate,priority) 
        VALUES ('$jobNumber','$siteName','$phoneNumber','$firstName','$lastName','$streetAddress','$linetwoAddress','$city','$county','$postcode','$serviceInfo','$jobDate','$priority_value')";

$sql .= "DELETE FROM table1 WHERE jobNumber= $jobNumber";

if(!mysqli_multi_query($con,$sql))
{
    echo 'Not Inserted or Deleted';
}
else
{
    echo 'Inserted and Deleted';
}

header("refresh:2 url=index.php");
?>

Currently upon executing the code nothing happens. When the statements are executed individually, then they work.

There is no ; (semicolon) after first statement.

$sql = "INSERT INTO table2(jobNumber,siteName,phoneNumber,firstName,lastName,streetAddress,linetwoAddress,city,county,postcode,serviceInfo,jobDate,priority) VALUES ('$jobNumber','$siteName','$phoneNumber','$firstName','$lastName','$streetAddress','$linetwoAddress','$city','$county','$postcode','$serviceInfo','$jobDate','$priority_value');";

So, it's trying to execute as single statement instead of separate statement.
