convert Persian/Arabic numbers to English numbers

Question

How can I convert Persian/Arabic numbers to English numbers with a simple function ?

Persian/Arabic numbers:

۰   //  -> 0
۱   //  -> 1
۲   //  -> 2
۳   //  -> 3
۴   //  -> 4
۵   //  -> 5
۶   //  -> 6
۷   //  -> 7
۸   //  -> 8
۹   //  -> 9

numbers over the unicode :

$num0="&#1776;";
$num1="&#1777;";
$num2="&#1778;";
$num3="&#1779;";
$num4="&#1780;";
$num5="&#1781;";
$num6="&#1782;";
$num7="&#1783;";
$num8="&#1784;";
$num9="&#1785;";

Well, you can always use [`str_replace`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php). — Palladium, Aug 01 '12 at 20:04

Here's a short function:

function convert($string) {
    $persian = ['۰', '۱', '۲', '۳', '۴', '۵', '۶', '۷', '۸', '۹'];
    $arabic = ['٠', '١', '٢', '٣', '٤', '٥', '٦', '٧', '٨', '٩'];

    $num = range(0, 9);
    $convertedPersianNums = str_replace($persian, $num, $string);
    $englishNumbersOnly = str_replace($arabic, $num, $convertedPersianNums);
    
    return $englishNumbersOnly;
}

You can use the unicode instead of the characters in $persian (I think).

I use this function. It converts both Persian and Arabic digits to English:

function faTOen($string) {
    return strtr($string, array('۰'=>'0', '۱'=>'1', '۲'=>'2', '۳'=>'3', '۴'=>'4', '۵'=>'5', '۶'=>'6', '۷'=>'7', '۸'=>'8', '۹'=>'9', '٠'=>'0', '١'=>'1', '٢'=>'2', '٣'=>'3', '٤'=>'4', '٥'=>'5', '٦'=>'6', '٧'=>'7', '٨'=>'8', '٩'=>'9'));
}

sample:

echo faTOen("۰۱۲۳۴۵۶۷۸۹٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩"); // 01234567890123456789

Also you can convert English to Persian the same way:

function enToFa($string) {
    return strtr($string, array('0'=>'۰','1'=>'۱','2'=>'۲','3'=>'۳','4'=>'۴','5'=>'۵','6'=>'۶','7'=>'۷','8'=>'۸','9'=>'۹'));
}

Or English to Arabic:

function enToAr($string) {
    return strtr($string, array('0'=>'٠','1'=>'١','2'=>'٢','3'=>'٣','4'=>'٤','5'=>'٥','6'=>'٦','7'=>'٧','8'=>'٨','9'=>'٩'));
}

Because people in the Persian & Arabic region maybe use each other keyboard types, this is the complete solution to convert both types.

Based on @palladium answer.

function convert2english($string) {
    $newNumbers = range(0, 9);
    // 1. Persian HTML decimal
    $persianDecimal = array('&#1776;', '&#1777;', '&#1778;', '&#1779;', '&#1780;', '&#1781;', '&#1782;', '&#1783;', '&#1784;', '&#1785;');
    // 2. Arabic HTML decimal
    $arabicDecimal = array('&#1632;', '&#1633;', '&#1634;', '&#1635;', '&#1636;', '&#1637;', '&#1638;', '&#1639;', '&#1640;', '&#1641;');
    // 3. Arabic Numeric
    $arabic = array('٠', '١', '٢', '٣', '٤', '٥', '٦', '٧', '٨', '٩');
    // 4. Persian Numeric
    $persian = array('۰', '۱', '۲', '۳', '۴', '۵', '۶', '۷', '۸', '۹');

    $string =  str_replace($persianDecimal, $newNumbers, $string);
    $string =  str_replace($arabicDecimal, $newNumbers, $string);
    $string =  str_replace($arabic, $newNumbers, $string);
    return str_replace($persian, $newNumbers, $string);
}

Note : in number number 3 of this answer (Arabic Numbers) , they are in correct direction, just shown on wrong direction here. — Root, Aug 05 '19 at 13:49

this is better. we have two type of digits in arabic and persian. we must change all.

function convert($string) {
    $persinaDigits1= array('۰', '۱', '۲', '۳', '۴', '۵', '۶', '۷', '۸', '۹');
    $persinaDigits2= array('٩', '٨', '٧', '٦', '٥', '٤', '٣', '٢', '١', '٠');
    $allPersianDigits=array_merge($persinaDigits1, $persinaDigits2);
    $replaces = array('0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9');
    return str_replace($allPersianDigits, $replaces , $string);
}

thanks @Palladium

Be Careful when copying the code! Check twice how the array is presented in your editor or your will be in trouble!

For convert all persian number to english format you can use this function:

function Convertnumber2english($srting) {

        $srting = str_replace('۰', '0', $srting);
        $srting = str_replace('۱', '1', $srting);
        $srting = str_replace('۲', '2', $srting);
        $srting = str_replace('۳', '3', $srting);
        $srting = str_replace('۴', '4', $srting);
        $srting = str_replace('۵', '5', $srting);
        $srting = str_replace('۶', '6', $srting);
        $srting = str_replace('۷', '7', $srting);
        $srting = str_replace('۸', '8', $srting);
        $srting = str_replace('۹', '9', $srting);

Two useful functions:

First convert to English number:

    $persian = ['۰', '۱', '۲', '۳', '۴', '۵', '۶', '۷', '۸', '۹'];
    $arabic = ['٩', '٨', '٧', '٦', '٥', '٤', '٣', '٢', '١','٠'];

    $convertedPersianNums = str_replace($persian, $num, $string);
    $englishNumbersOnly = str_replace($arabic, $num, $convertedPersianNums);

    return $englishNumbersOnly;
}

Second convert to Persian number:

function convert_to_fa_number($string) {
    $num = range(0, 9);
    $arabic = ['٩', '٨', '٧', '٦', '٥', '٤', '٣', '٢', '١','٠'];

I know this is a six-year old question, but I just came across this and developed a generic solution and I'd like to share it here for future readers.

Basically I use the NumberFormatter to generate the numbers in any foreign language, then I replace the numbers in the input string with the ones from English.

It should work for any language, but I wrote mine for Arabic.

/**
 * Replace Arabic numbers by English numbers in a string
 *
 * @param $value string A string containing Arabic numbers.
 * @param $source_language string The locale to convert chars from.
 *
 * @return string The string with Arabic numbers replaced by English numbers
 */
function englishifyNumbers ($value, $source_language = 'ar') {
    // Remove any direction overriding chars [LRO (U+202D)]
    $value = trim($value);

    // Create an Arabic number formatter to generate Arabic numbers
    $fmt = new \NumberFormatter(
        $source_language, 
        \NumberFormatter::PATTERN_DECIMAL
    );

    // Create an array of English numbers to use for replacement
    $english_numbers = range(0, 9);

    // Convert the English numbers to Arabic numbers using the formatter
    $arabic_numbers = array_map(function ($n) use ($fmt) {
        // Trim to remove direction overriding chars [PDF (U+202C)]
        return trim($fmt->format($n));

    }, $english_numbers);

    // Replace the numbers and return the result
    return str_replace($arabic_numbers, $english_numbers, $value);
}

Probably a better answer using some kind of replace, but for coding it yourself, this would be better than what you have:

$len = strlen($arabic);
for ( $i = 0; $i < $len; ++$i )
{
    switch( $arabic[$i] )
    {
    case '&#1776':
        $english .= '0';
        break;
    case '&#1777':
        $english .= '1';
        break;
    case '&#1778':
        $english .= '2';
        break;
    // and so on
    case '&#1785':
        $english .= '9';
        break;
    default:
        $english .= $arabic[$i];
    }
}

That should do it.

No need to divide the input string.

private function convert($input)
{
    $unicode = array('۰', '۱', '۲', '۳', '٤', '٥', '٦', '۷', '۸', '۹');
    $english = array('0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9');

    $string = str_replace($unicode, $english , $input);

    return $string;
}

Examples

convert("۱۲۳٤٥");   //output : 12345

convert("۱۲34٥");   //output : 12345

convert("12345");   //output : 12345

Here is a function that takes a string and zero of source language and zero of destination language

In below example I am converting numbers from Hindi to Latin for a given string

val = LangNum2Num("जिनसे आप कुछ ९० सीख सकते ३४ हैं हम लाये हैं ७ आपके लिये कुछ", "०", 0)
console.log(val)
// Prints जिनसे आप कुछ 90 सीख सकते 34 हैं हम लाये हैं 7 आपके लिये कुछ




// Coverts numbers insides a string to other language number
// str is the string
// zeroFrom is the zero number from the language you want to convert
// zeroTo is the zero number of the languague you want to convert to

function LangNum2Num(str, zeroFrom, zeroTo) {
  // Get the UTF-16 code points of zeros
  codezeroFrom = ("" + zeroFrom).codePointAt(0)
  codezeroTo = ("" + zeroTo).codePointAt(0)

  // Make array containing codepoints from 0 to 10 for the language
  var FromArr = [...Array(10).keys()].map(e => codezeroFrom + e)
  var ToArr = [...Array(10).keys()].map(e => codezeroTo + e)

  // Split the string into array, if we catch a number, we will return number from destination language
  return str.split('').map(e => FromArr.includes(e.codePointAt(0)) ? String.fromCodePoint(ToArr[FromArr.indexOf(e.codePointAt(0))]) : e).join('')
