This function returns the connection on success, or FALSE and an error on
failure. You can hide the error output by adding an '@' in front of the function
name.

close the connection before, use mysql_close().
Tip: To establish a persistent MySQL connection, use mysql_pconnect()
instead.

$con = mysql_connect("localhost","mysql_user","mysql_pwd");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}

mysql_close($con);
