I tried to keep it as generic as possible, if you look/copy the code in 
kdevelop/languages/cpp/codegen and modify it for php (ie. tell it which 
methods are overridable, which to filter out etc) it should be pretty easy.  
The other thing that might need effort is parsing of each inheritance string 
(for c++ eg. "public BaseClass"), and then of course the code to create the 
class itself - for the moment we're using string concatenation but eventually 
I plan to switch to AST generation as an intermediate step.

Cheers,
Hamish.
