Unless already done, you must first install Dia. If you want to compile it yourself, go to site...

• Dia homepage

Otherwise, download your favorite distribution package.

	dia-0.94-1.1.fc3.rf.i386.rpm dia-0.93-1.1.fc2.dag.i386.rpm dia-0.93-1.1.fc1.dag.i386.rpm
	dia-0.94-1.0.rh9.dag.i386.rpm
	dia-0.92.2-2mdk.i586.rpm
	dia-0.92.2-0.ximian.8.2.i586.rpm
	Dia 0.93/0.92 for Debian

Download archive :.

• uml2php5-2.1.1

Locate the Dia directory. Here are the plugin's present files :

• stylesheet.xml
• dia-uml-classes.zx
• dia-uml2php5.zx
• dia-uml2phpsoap.zx
• dia-uml2php5.conf.xsl

They should be moved or copied to DIA's "xslt" sub directory. Please note that there's already a stylesheet.xml file. I recommend you rename it stylesheet.xml.old, the original file could be useful in case of a problem.

• Draw your UML diagram(s)
• Save it with .dia as file extension
• Export through the XSL filter (*.code)
• A popup opens :
  • Select UML-CLASSES-EXTENDED in the top box
  • Select PHP5 in the bottom box
  • OK

The plugin generates as many .class.php files as necessary, in the same directory as the original .dia file.
