Multicolumn form in PHP PDO - php

Question

Although everything looks fine in my program (e.g. register2.php), I have some syntax and binding issues. As it keeps throwing the error on line 73 even though the data successfully entered my database named "webprojadmin", and the table named "users".
here is my connected PDO database:
<?php
session_start();
$host = "127.0.0.1:3308";
$username = "root";
$password = "root";
$dbname = "webprojadmin";
$dsn = "mysql:host=$host;dbname=$dbname";
$optionen = array(
PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND => 'SET NAMES utf8',
);
try {
// Create connection
$cxn = new PDO($dsn, $username, $password, $optionen);
// set the PDO error mode to exception
$cxn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
//echo "Success: A proper connection to MySQL was made! The"." ".$dbname." "."database is great." . PHP_EOL;
//echo "Host URL: " . $host . PHP_EOL;
}
catch(PDOException $e) {
echo "Connection failed: " . $e->getMessage();
}
?>
And here is my program, register2.php
<?php
require "dbcxn.php";
?>
