Hello i need to create a form that adds Data to a MySQL Database using PHP.

I created this, but it does not work

THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDED:

INSERT INTO `mailserver`.`virtual_users`
  (`domain_id`, `password` , `email`)
VALUES
  ('5', ENCRYPT('newpassword', CONCAT('$6$', SUBSTRING(SHA(RAND()), -16))) , 'email3@newdomain.com');

It would be also nice that PHP queries the latest domain_id and adds a 1 after every new Email Address

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
	<head>
		<title>Add an E-Mail</title>	
	</head>	
	<body>
		<?php
			if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
				$servername = "localhost";
				$username = "lalalala";
				$password = "heheheh";
				$dbname = "mailserver";	
				
				try {
						$userpassword = = $_POST['password'];
						$useremail = = $_POST['email'];	
					
    					$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=$dbname", $username, $password);
    					// set the PDO error mode to exception
    					$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
    					$sql = "
							INSERT INTO `mailserver`.`virtual_users`
  							(`domain_id`, `password` , `email`)
							VALUES
  							('3', ENCRYPT('$userpassword', CONCAT('$6$', SUBSTRING(SHA(RAND()), -16))) , '$useremail');
						";
    					// use exec() because no results are returned
    					$conn->exec($sql);
    					echo "New record created successfully";
    				}
					catch(PDOException $e)
    					{
    						echo $sql . "<br>" . $e->getMessage();
    					}

						$conn = null;
					}
		?>
		<form action="" method="post">
			<p>Email<input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Your Email"></p>
			<p><input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Your Password"></p>
			<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
		</form>
	</body>
</html>
