UML Stereotypes for PHP

[Jakub Moskal]

Has anyone of you tried to model PHP with UML? I am looking for design
stereotypes that would express everything that can be coded in PHP. If
anyone of you had a chance to read a book by Jim Conallen "Building Web
Applications with UML Second Edition" - there is an example of
stereotypes suggested for JSP. I am looking for similar set of
stereotypes but for PHP.

Thanks in advance,
Jakub Moskal.

It is very different to write OO for PHP4 or for PHP5.

AFAIK there is no specific stereotypes for PHP in UML, but those for Java
shouldn't be too far off.

That is true, there are no specific stereotypes for PHP, that is my
task. JSP works a little bit differently and it's not easy to map it
directly to PHP. I am wondering how to model superglobals, global
functions or instructions such as icnlude and require in PHP.
phppatterns is a dead website, the last post is dated on july 2004 or
so. They didn't suggest any new stereotypes apart from the ones that
Conallen already has. Anyway, thank you fro your help.

Try to combine various other languages' stereotypes. Global scope exists in
C++, but I must say that I don't know of any language besides PHP that has
the globals/superglobals distinction.

Thank you for help, that might be a good point to start working on it.
I appreciate your opinions,

Hi,

I don't know what are stereotypes, but what I know is that ArgoUML is
capable of designing UML and generate PHP5 code.

Maybe you'll find it interesting : http://argouml.tigris.org

Thank you for reply, however I already looked at ArgoUML. I am trying
to come up with my own UML extension (a part of which are stereotypes)
to maybe in the end generate code from it. There are quite a few
programms that can already spit PHP based on UML, but they don't define
any PHP-specific stereotypes, therefore their possibilities are
constrained.

Anyway, thanks again for your reply, I appreciate it.
