Free UML Modelling software with export to PHP?

Post by Hades »

Hi,

As the title suggests I'm looking for some decent UML modelling software that will run on Windows XP and allow diagrams to be exported into PHP code skeleton classes (ready for me to write the code into the methods).

Something similar to how Together works for C++/Java would be nice.

Thanks

Hi An UML model to PHP skeleton classes

Hi,

I know one software which is freely available called "Umbrello", which is available for linux (Fedora core). Sorry I don't know an application that does the same for Windows Xp.

Regards

Does Poseidon (not the movie!) have something like that? There's a community version you can download.

Umbrello uses KDE, so unless you set up Cygwin and compile QT and such you wont be able to use it (although it is a very nice program)

I had a look at that. The community eddition doesn't do PHP code generation :(



Also had a look at Cygwin for the purposes of running Umbrello but it seems like a lot of hassel for one application.
Plus, on my test machine Cygwin made everything run incredibly slowly. :(

Any other suggestions?

I'm suprised that no-ones created an open source UML eitor for Windows with PHP support since most PHP development happens on windows (ala Zend).

I'd guess it's more a reflection on the net number of PHP developers who actually use UML...

Hi Hades,

Check out for the argoUML and I think there is a plugin module for it to generate the skeleton classes for php

Thankyou.... ArgoUML is the closest one to what I want that I've seen.

It's support for PHP is a little sketchy at present when it comes to a properties data type. It seems to want to treat strings as a Java construct and has no idea what an array is :?

Other than that though I'll keep an eye on the project :)

Thanks to those who replied. :mrgreen:
