I wonder why I cannot login after I press the login button?

login_portal.php

<?php

include('administrator2/admin/includes/koneksi.php');

$error = "";

echo "test";

if (@$_POST['submit']) { 

echo "enter";
/* the files */

// username and password sent from form
$username=$_POST['username'];
$password=$_POST['password'];

// To protect MySQL injection (more detail about MySQL injection)

$username = stripslashes($username);
$password = stripslashes($password);
$username = mysql_real_escape_string($username);
$password = mysql_real_escape_string($password);

$encrypted_password = md5($password);

echo $username;
echo $password;

$sql = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE username='$username' and password='$encrypted_password' and access='sadmin'" or die(mysql_query);
$result=mysql_query($sql);

$sql2 = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE username='$username' and password='$encrypted_password' and access='admin'" or die(mysql_query);
$result2=mysql_query($sql2);

$sql3 = "SELECT * FROM student WHERE stu_username='$username' and stu_password='$encrypted_password'" or die(mysql_query);
$result3=mysql_query($sql3);

$sql4 = "SELECT * FROM teacher WHERE teach_username='$username' and teach_password='$encrypted_password'" or die(mysql_query);
$result4=mysql_query($sql4);

echo $sql4;
echo $result4;

// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
$sadmin_count=mysql_num_rows($result);
$admin_count=mysql_num_rows($result2);
$student_count=mysql_num_rows($result3);
$teacher_count=mysql_num_rows($result4);

echo "admin count :".$sadmin_count;
echo "teacher count :".$teacher_count;
echo "student count :".$student_count;
// If result matched $username and $password, table row must be 1 row

if ($sadmin_count>=1){

// Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "login_success.php"
//session_register("username");
//session_register("password");

$_SESSION['username'] = $username;
$_SESSION['password'] = $password;

header("location:admin/template/");
}
elseif ($admin_count>=1){

$_SESSION['username'] = $username;
$_SESSION['password'] = $password;

header("location:administrator/");

}
elseif ($student_count>=1){

$_SESSION['username'] = $username;
$_SESSION['password'] = $password;

This suppose to work! At least processing the login_portal.php - but this is not the case. Nothing happen after I press the login button.

I just did a quick once-over, but here's what I saw:
You are checking to make sure $_POST['submit'] is equal to true to start processing. Try adding a name and value to the input:

<input type="image" src="images/login.jpg" alt="submit" width="200px" name="submitButton" value="login">

and then check for that name and value to enter the login script:

if ($_POST['submitButton'] == 'login'
