Has anyone used UML class diagrams to present an OOP project?

If so is there a program that helps this diagramming besides pen and paper?

Lots of them, from free to expensive.  I'd suggest you try an OO-related 
newsgroup.  You'll get better answers than in a PHP newsgroup.

If Scott is asking not only for a tool to *draw* UML class diagramms,
but for a tool which might be able to generate (an) actual PHP code
(skeleton) from, or even reverse engineer existing PHP to UML class
diagramms, the question *might* better be asked here than in a generally
OO-related newsgroup.

I have only superficial experience with such tools, but I am aware that
there has been quite mature support for *some* languages since many
years (at least Java, C++ and Eiffel--the latter regarding BON instead
of UML).

Thanks CB.

Actually I just need something to whiteboard on while I am building.  I 
get lost in the weeds sometimes.

I spent a lot of money trying out different tools and technologies to 
accomplish that - including UML.
They're great for a team environment - if the team embraces them.
But for individual work, I had to just come up with my own processes.

Yes, but that's not what he asked for.

I've been working with them for well over 15 years (probably closer to 
20) with various languages, including SmallTalk, C++ and Java.  But each 
tool has it's advantages and disadvantages - which is why I recommended 
he look in a newsgroup where OO experts hang out.

comp.lang.php is NOT such a newsgroup.  Most people here barely know how 
to spell OO.

I overestimated the ability of someone to take a simple question parse 
it and bring in a useful answer.  My apologies.

Try Enterprise Architect, it's really powerfull although not free.

If you prefer light solution, NClass is interesting too.

Years ago I used a crippled free version of Rational Rose and it was quite 
nice, but it has not been available for years.

Now I scribble my designs with Star UML. It has its quirks, but it should be 
enough to produce inteligible small diagrams.

Also on the "free" price range, I tried Argo UML; it may be pefect for large 
projects (so they say) but it sucks at scribbling.
