You're opening a brace ({) on line 5 which isn't closed. You can remove it completely, as you're only trying to execute one thing if the connection isn't made, and the script will exit if it hits the die() anyway. As you don't see any output from your die() statements, you can safeul assume that you have a connection.

You've also got another parse error on this line:

        $con = mysql_connect("localhost", "******", "******",);

caused by an extra comma at the end of the function parameter list.

However, the fact that you claim "nothing happens" suggests an even bigger problem - your environment isn't set up for debugging/developing. For example, in the development environment, you should probably have error_reporting set to E_ALL and display_errors set to On. Otherwise, you'll probably miss helpful error messages PHP is trying to give you, such as:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in <file> on line 3

(the error message I got when I ran a lint check on your code snippet above).
