Where does the value $userid come from is it the result of a query
i.e.
SELECT userid FROM users WHERE username='$_POST['username']' AND
passwd='$_POST['password']'
or do you have a form (text/hidden) with that value?
You mention userid and user_id maybe a typo, but those would be different.
You can see all session variables (for testing) by adding:
echo "<pre>\n";
print_r($_SESSION);
echo "</pre>\n";
