Abstract: MoDisco is an Eclipse Generative Modeling Technologies project (GMT Project) intended to make easier the design and building of model-based solutions that are dedicated to legacy systems Model-Driven Reverse Engineering (MDRE). It offers an open source, generic and extensible MDRE framework. Indeed, MDRE applies of Model-driven Engineering (MDE) principles to enhance traditional Reverse Engineering processes, and thus facilitate their understanding and manipulation. In the same context, the Architecture-Driven Modernization (ADM) is an OMG (Object Management Group) standard, which addresses the integration of MDA (Model-driven Architecture) and Reverse Engineering in the aim of understanding and evolving existing software assets. Thus, Modisco succeeded to stand out as the implementation reference in the MDRE and ADM field. Currently, Modisco handles only some technologies, such as Java and XML. Unfortunately, no adapted way to handle PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) web-based projects by Modisco is available so far. This paper proposes a new model discovery tool intended for PHP language. This latter constitutes an extension for the Modisco framework that allows managing the applications assets written in PHP language. Thus, this work aims at enhancing the Modisco platform capabilities in managing more software development technologies.
