message: successfully created tables but only the first one appears in database - php

Question

I am trying to populate a database with tables (am new to this) The message I get back upon execution of .php is:
Table "users" successfully created
Table "tempRes" successfully created
Table "empRec" successfully created
However the second and third tables are not appearing in the database in phpMyAdmin. SHOW TABLES & SHOW TABLE STATUS only shows "user" table.
Does anyone know why this is happening? How can I rectify?
Here is my code:
<?php
// connect to the MySQL server
$conn = new mysqli('localhost', 'fiona', 'xxx', 'Org_db');
// check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
exit('Connect failed: '. mysqli_connect_error());
}
// Performs the $sql query on the server to create the table users
$sql = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `users` (
`id` INT(6) UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
`name` VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL,
`pass` VARCHAR(18) NOT NULL,
`email` VARCHAR(45),
`reg_date` TIMESTAMP
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8";
// performs query to check table successfully created or get error message
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
echo '<br/>Table "users" successfully created<br/>';
}
else {
echo 'Error: '. $conn->error;
}
// Performs the $sql query on the server to create the table temporary reservations
"CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `tempRes` (
`tr_id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`aaid` INT NOT NULL,
`cid` INT NOT NULL,
`date_res` DATE NOT NULL,
`rem` VARCHAR(5) NOT NULL,
primary key ( `tr_id` )) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
echo 'Table "tempRes" successfully created<br/>';
}
else {
echo 'Error: '. $conn->error;
}
// Performs the $sql query on the server to create the table employee records
"CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `empRec` (
`eid` INT NOT NULL auto_increment,
`empPos` VARCHAR( 20 ) NOT NULL,
`tfn` INT NOT NULL,
`emp_DOB` DATE NOT NULL,
`eStart` DATE NOT NULL,
`super_co` VARCHAR( 30 ),
`s_mem_no` INT NOT NULL,
`icin` INT NOT NULL,
`epn` INT NOT NULL,
primary key ( emp_id )) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
echo 'Table "empRec" successfully created<br/>';
}
else {
echo 'Error: '. $conn->error;
}
?>

Your not storing the second and third create statements in $sql variable. That's why isn't it?
Add $sql = infront of those two statements as well
