That means that something is wrong with your query. Change to and report back.

It gave me Unknown column 'username' in 'where clause'

So that's your problem. In the table that you're querying, there isn't a column named 'username'

Also, in the future, it's a good idea to run a check on the MySQL query before relying on mysql_num_rows(). If mysql_query() comes out NULL or FALSE rather than a value of 0 in the row count (such as if there was an error), you'll end up with errors thrown all over your website. Try... You could also use a try/catch statement, which is usually the better idea. Either way: You need some level of error checking/catching. If something goes wrong, it's best to keep it as hidden as possible.
