i am trying to post data to Mysql using jquery $.post and php page. my code is not running and nothing is added to the mysql table. I am not sure if the path i am creating is wrong but any help would be appreciated.

Jquery location: f_js/tasks/TaskTest.js

    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $("#AddTask").click(function(){
            var acct = $('#acct').val();
            var quicktask = $('#quicktask').val();
            var user = $('#user').val();

            $.post('addTask.php',{acct:acct,quicktask:quicktask,user:user}, function(data){
                $('#result').fadeIn('slow').html(data);
            });
        });

    });

</script>

addTask.php (runs the jqeury code)

<?php
include 'dbconnect.php';
 include 'sessions.php';

    $acct = $_POST['acct'];
    $task = $_POST['quicktask'];
    $taskstatus = 'Active';
    //get task Creator
    $user = $_POST['user'];
    //query task creator from users table
    $allusers = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$user'");
    while ($rows = mysql_fetch_array($allusers)) {
        //get first and last name for task creator
        $taskOwner = $rows['user_firstname'];
        $taskOwnerLast = $rows['user_lastname'];
        $taskOwnerFull =  $taskOwner." ".$taskOwnerLast;

    mysql_query("INSERT INTO tasks (taskresource, tasktitle, taskdetail, taskstatus, taskowner, taskOwnerFullName)
            VALUES ('$acct', '$task', '$task', '$taskstatus', '$user', '$taskOwnerFull' )");
    echo "inserted";
 }



 ?>

Accountview.php finally the front page

                                      <input type="text" class="form-control col-lg-12" placeholder="Add a quick Task..." name ="quicktask" id="quicktask">
