Php file control problem (there is-there isn't)

hi this codes are not working
i have got 2 files and one datebase its name is "haber" i am from Turkey
-index.php
-connect.php
file path:
haber/index.php
haber/system/connect.php

this is connect.php

<?php
    $host='localhost';
    $user='root';
    $pass='';
    $data='haber';//Veritabanı adı
    //baglan
    $connx=mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass);
    if($connx){
        $dbConn=mysql_select_db($data,$connx) or die (mysql_error());
     
     
        $language=mysql_query("SET CHARACHTER SET    utf8"));
            }
    else{
 
    die(mysql_query());
    }
 
 
 
?>

PHP:

And this is index.php

<?php
 
    $connectFile="haber/system/connect.php";
    if(file_exists($connectFile)){
 
    require $connectFile;
    }
    else{
 
        echo"error";
    }
?>

PHP:

 

Not related to your problem but mysql extension is deprecated. Use pdo(my suggestion) or mysqli.

 

Since you're using relative paths, and you're already in the "haber" folder, you have to drop it from the path.

$connectFile="system/connect.php";

PHP:

 

$connectFile="../haber/system/connect.php";

Code (markup):

 

Spot on... generally speaking the more 'path' you try to use or any 'up-tree linking' (aka ../) you 'have' to use just means overthinking your directory structure. In this case everything is relative to where the index.php is run from, making it -- as nico_swd's answer shows, VERY simple.

Also, listen to gvre -- they've been telling us for EIGHT YEARS to stop using mysql_ functions, and have FINALLY added giant red warning boxes to the manual pages saying same!

 

Besides the simplicity of not using up-tree linking, as deathshadow mentioned, adding '../haber' in the path adds a little overhead because of an extra stat call.

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in C:\AppServ\www\haber\system\connect.php on line 12
help me please

 

you have an extra ) at the end of line 12.

 

$language=mysql_query("SET CHARACHTER SET utf8"));

one more ) than you open.
Also might help if you spelled CHARACTER properly.
