Are the scripts compatible to PHP?

Schlabo's Scripts are coded in Perl (CGI), but they can also be used from a PHP-based site. Everything's the same except that you have to use different SSI-commands. To include a Perl-script to a PHP-page (for example the POTD Thumbnail-script) use this:

virtual("./cgi-bin/schlabo/potd_thumbnail.pl");

As this is an Apache-specific command, it might not work on your server. In case it doesn't, try this method (thanks to Shawn):

readfile("http://yoursite.com/cgi-bin/schlabo/potd_thumbnail.pl");
