For Linux there is Umbrello.

Now if you want to generate code from UML diagrams, any UML tool saves
diagrams in XMI format, which is an OMG standard for exporting UML
artifacts, there is this PHP-GTK application for generating PHP classes
from XMI files:

http://www.phpclasses.org/uml2classes

If you want something more advanced to generate classes of persistent
objects that perform object-relational mappings from XML mapping
definitions, you may want to try Metastorage:

http://www.metastorage.net/

There is even an experimental XSLT for converting XMI into Metastorage
format here:
