Yes. You should close the $userdata with `)` before if condition. — Bhojendra Rauniyar, Sep 21 '16 at 10:07

Update with below code,

 $option = $_GET['I-would-like'];

    if ($option == 'A quotation' OR  $option == 'Information')
    {
        $role='customer';
    } else if($option == 'To become a Partner') 
    {
        $role='partners';
    } else if ($option == 'Training / Coaching')
    {
        $role='students';
    }


    $userdata = array(
        'user_login' => $username,
        'user_pass' => $password,
        'user_email' => $email,
        'nickname' => reset($name_parts),
        'display_name' => $name,
        'first_name' => reset($name_parts),
        'last_name' => end($name_parts),    
        'role' =>  $role
    );

might be the space issue .trim the $option and check it in the condition. – user3040610 Sep 21 '16 at 10:59
error remains the same .......... anyother solution ? – pradeep Sep 21 '16 at 11:27

try this, get role value outside array

$role = "";
$option = $_GET['I-would-like'];
$option = trim($option);
if ($option == 'A quotation' || $option == 'Information')
{
    $role = 'customer';
} else if($option == 'To become a Partner') 
{
    $role = 'partners';
} else if ($option == 'Training / Coaching')
{
    $role =  'students';
}


$userdata = array(
    'user_login' => $username,
    'user_pass' => $password,
    'user_email' => $email,
    'nickname' => reset($name_parts),
    'display_name' => $name,
    'first_name' => reset($name_parts),
    'last_name' => end($name_parts),    
    'role' => $role
);
