select count(*) from users where userid = '$userid' and password =
password('$password')

might be a good choice.

Actually, I usually like to check userid first, and then password -- I
prefer to inform the user if their username is wrong or just the password.
Lord knows I've got enough usernames/passwords on all these darn sites that
I sure appreciate it when somebody tells *me* I ain't even remembering the
username right, much less the password.
