Hey #extjac, thanks for your suggestion. Have tried it, does only work within a Blade view file. I then have to rename the view to index.blade.php. But I would like not to use the Blade syntax. I need and want to use only native PHP within the views. and require '...'; doesn't seem to work in other sub- or upper view folders. Only in the same folder.

I even left the header.php in a folder above /home directly under /views.

views
    header.php
    footer.php
    /home
        index.php

Then in index.php:

require '../header.php';

It doesn't work, gives the same error. Does normal file traversing work within the app folder structure?
