I am trying to write a script to test a database connection, at the moment it will only display text if the connection doesn't work, I am stuck with trying to create an else statement to display "Connection Successful" if it works.

Here's my code so far. Any help appreciated :)

<? 
  $conn = @mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "");
        if (!$conn) {
                  die("Connection failed:  " .mysql_error());
        } 
?>
