About
ModeliXe v2 is a light-weight PHP template library that was originally used in 2001 for a guestbook. The template engine and guestbook application originated in France. This new version 2 works in PHP 8 and can be used for experimenting, personal small projects, or further upgrading. I wanted to resurrect my old guestbook. Thus, I put some time into repairing this ModeliXe template engine.
ModeliXe v1 was the templating engine featured in a vintage web-based guestbook named @lexGuestbook. Their website is still up and running. You can download the original code from their website located at this link: @lexGuestbook Original Code Download.
