Why would
<?php
chdir ("/var/www/magazine/");
include ("news.php");
?>
work just fine in cat_index.php
and the same (I just copy and pasted template, simply replacing path), adding some operators will not?
<?php
chdir ("/var/www/magazine/");
include ("news.php?channel=Search&feed=Whatever");
?>
Both work fine with SSI

I don't know much about PHP, but it could be that it's including the file from the filesystem and when you enter ?query on the end it looks for a file like that and can't find one.

No, that's not the case, because the same include works as a SSI, or thru the browser, so the file exists. Thanks anyway.

Maybe "news.php" exists but there is no file called "news.php?channel=Search&feed=Whatever". There's a difference between accessing things though your web server and accessing them straight from the file system.
The docs for the include function are here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php
It sounds like it takes URLs, that's what you want to do. The docs actually mention your exact situation:
// Won't work; looks for a file named 'file.php?foo=1&bar=2' on the
// local filesystem.
include 'file.php?foo=1&bar=2';
// Works.
include 'http://www.example.com/file.php?foo=1&bar=2';
Hope that helps. : )

Indeed that works! And you claimed not knowing much about PHP? You little modest guy!
As usual, you guys are most helpful.
Thanks a million.
