There is probably an error in that file. try turning display errors and reporting on:
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT);

Escaped my mind, but does this work if `header.php` has a parse error?

@boltclock: as long as he does it before the include statement i think so... but im not 100% on that.

@getaway in your php.ini file, but you might not want to do that if the site is "live"

`php --ini` from the shell will give you the location of the CLI ini file. normally they will both be in the directory unless youve set CLI up to use one in your `$HOME`. convention generally puts them in `/etc`.

A:
Since you're using "include" and not "require", the white screen means you have an error in header.php itself. Use error reporting to narrow the issue down and fix the root of the problem.
