Multiple Queries Not Responding

[j.silver]

One example of a multiple query, which runs fine in my server is:

 

SELECT city, name FROM customers

 

However, another way (though not a better way) of writing same has been running fine in a tutorial I saw, but is not running in my case:

 

SELECT city FROM customers;

SELECT name FROM customers;

 

I would appreciate any thought on why it runs for that person and not for me, noting that there was no typos in my queries, which I attempted many times.

MySQL Server version: 5.6.16, Xampp 1.8.33 for windows.

Xampp 1.8.3 (sorry for the typo)

Are you doing this through the command line?

[j.silver]

No, both the person in the tutorial and myself were using PhpMyAdmin.

I forget to state what result I was getting: the result of the last query only.

There's no reason why the first query would run and the other 2 wouldn't.

[j.silver]

Dear Justomeguy, that's why I got puzzled, tried again and again but that's what I had been getting all the time, and because I couldn't find a reason, I thought somebody else might share their experience and finding.

[justsomeguy]

There's literally no reason. You might just not be using phpMyAdmin correctly, if it's showing the results from a previous query then that's an indication.

[Ingolme]

Perhaps only the results of the last query are displayed. I don't know how phpMyAdmin displays results of multiple queries. I usually don't use it.

I thought he was using the term "multiple query" wrong, in describing the first one that returned 2 columns as a multiple query. If I do actually run multiple queries it looks like it shows a result set for each one.
