Using fetch and insert statement help

[PRodgers4284]

Im am trying to fetch a field from a table and populate the input form with the value. I have two tables called employers and jobs, and i need the username field in the form to be populated with the username from the employers table and then insert the value in the table jobs, i have the following code then inserts in the information in to the jobs table but it doesnt insert the username from the employers table, everything else insert fine, just not the username value.

 

Can anyone help me

 

$account = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM employers WHERE username='" . $_SESSION["username"] . "'")); 


//Then, only run the query if there were no errors (if $error_stat still equals 0) 
if ($error_stat == 0) { 
   mysql_query("INSERT INTO jobs (username, jobtitle, jobcatergory, joblocation, employmenttype, salary, date, educationallevel, description) VALUES ('$username', '$jobtitle', '$jobcatergory', '$joblocation', '$employmenttype', '$salary', '$date', '$educationallevel', '$description')"); 
echo "<h3>Registration Successful!</h3>"; 
   echo "<p>Thankyou, <b>$username</b>,registration was successful</p>"; 
   echo "<p>login.</p>";
  	echo "<a href=\"index2.php\">Login</a>";
  	
}
}


//Then, for the form, only show it if 1) the form hasn't been submitted yet OR 2) there is an error 
if (!isset($_POST['submit']) || $error_stat == 1) {
