VALUES (" . $_SESSION['ruid'] .

And then after that ", you had a comma, which isn't valid PHP syntax at that location, so that's why you were getting the error. By putting the extra quote and period before your $_SESSION, you finished the quoted string at its proper place, so the initial quoted string became:
