Problem loading external view

[eluser]xzela[/eluser]
Actually, I have an interesting update regarding this issue.
If I change the location of the header.php file from:

Code:

./system/application/views/_global/

to:

Code:

./system/application/views/

and update the main_view.php file to reflect the changes:

Code:

<?php
...
    $this->load->view('header');
...
?>

it actually works!

In addition to this, changing the $this->load->view from:

Code:

$this->load->view('_global/header');

to:

Code:

include '_global/header.php';

will also work.

So my question now is: Why wont the $this->load->view('_global/header') load when it's within a sub-folder in this particular case? Am I not specifying a top level directory or something?

Let me know what you guys think,

Thanks for the help so far.
