Well in that expression it meens if it fails to connect to the database (IE the function returns a FALSE value) it will run testFun(); Probably the most common use in that format is

mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'password') or die(mysql_error());

which trys to connect to mysql and if it fails it returns the error text and exits the script
