help with this code

I am trying to insert data into my data base using:
76: $sql = "INSERT INTO client (`name`,`email`,`address`,`userid`,`password`) VALUES('$name','$email','$address','$userid', '$password' )";

but I am getting this syntax error when I view it through browser:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting ']' in /home/getyourn/public_html/signup.php on line 76

Pls what is the matter with the insert statement or is there other hidden problem?
Thanks.

Do you really think $pas sword is a good variable name?

  Since when does the name of a PHP variable matter (unless it's reserved)? It's not like it's exposed to the public eye.

try:

$sql = "INSERT INTO client ('name','email','address','userid','password') VALUES ('$name','$email','$address','$userid','$password' )";

it means you forgot to end line 75 with a semicolon

bet line 75 looks something like this:
$variable = 'something'

when it should look like
$variable = 'something';
