How can a class diagram be converted into PHP code effectively?

To convert a class diagram into PHP code effectively, you can start by identifying the classes, attributes, and methods from the diagram. Then, create corresponding PHP classes with properties for the attributes and methods for the behaviors. Ensure to follow proper object-oriented programming principles such as encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. 

// Example class diagram conversion to PHP code

class Person {
    private $name;
    private $age;

    public function __construct($name, $age) {
        $this->name = $name;
        $this->age = $age;
    }

    public function getName() {
        return $this->name;
    }

    public function setName($name) {
        $this->name = $name;
    }

    public function getAge() {
        return $this->age;
    }

    public function setAge($age) {
        $this->age = $age;
    }
}

class Student extends Person {
    private $studentId;

    public function __construct($name, $age, $studentId) {
        parent::__construct($name, $age);
        $this->studentId = $studentId;
    }

    public function getStudentId() {
        return $this->studentId;
    }

    public function setStudentId($studentId) {
        $this->studentId = $studentId;
    }
}
