One that works on your architecture would be a good start. One which *you*
find effective and easy to use.

UML (a diagramming system - not a specific bit of software) is pretty much a
defacto standard for OO design...but you use the word 'flow' in your
request - does anybody still use flow diagrams? It rather suggests your
coding style is sloppy.

If you are not already using PHPDoc (or similar) then its definitely time to
learn.
