Try:

if (!function_exists(mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'sushma')))
{
    die(
        '<span class="fatalError">Fatal error: ' .
        'MySQL extension is not loaded. Check your settings in php.ini.</span>'
    );
}

Look up the function_exists in php manual, it takes one parameter -- a function name, so:
[php]
if ( !function_exists('mysql_connect') )
{
die(
'Fatal error: ' .
'MySQL extension is not loaded. Check your settings in php.ini.'
);
}
[/php]
