It's nothing to do with PHP - there is no PHP in the Belchertown extension nor does WeeWX/Cheetah use it, simply put a #include will cause Cheetah to appropriately display any search list entries it encounters. If it is not and it is displaying the tags as literal text it is because the tags concerned don't exist in the search list being used. Colin's success would indicate the issue is not with the Belchertown skin but rather a missing file or config setting. You may get some clues by running with debug=1 and looking at the log during report generation. It would certainly pay to look at the contents of the relevant Belchertown skin directories to verify everything is where it should be.
