Would you care to explain to the rest of the list how you intend to use mysql_error () to return connection failure information?

It returns the text of the error message from previous MySQL operation
Description: string mysql_error ( [resource link_identifier])

Seems to me that without a connection, we wouldn't have a valid link_identifier.

What you probably should attempt going for is getting something back from PHP itself regarding the error returned when the mysql_connect failed.

Here's a snippet from: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.errorcontrol.php

If the track_errors feature is enabled, any error message generated by the expression will be saved in the global variable $php_errormsg. This variable will be overwritten on each error, so check early if you want to use it.

Hope that clears things up a bit.
