No, they are not PHP files; they are Matlab functions. You should be
able to run them using Octave. I had to change line 43 of
McCabeThiele.m, from AXIS (capital) to axis (lower case).
This way it displayed a graph started without parameters. Since I'm
an electronic engineer and in no way familiar with distillation (except
the final products, that is), I have no idea what output the function
should provide.
