check this uk.php.net/manual/en/class.intldateformatter.php or you can use the below string replace function 

header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
$standard = array("0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9");
$eastern_arabic_symbols = array("٠","١","٢","٣","٤","٥","٦","٧","٨","٩");
$current_date = date('d').'-'.date('m').'-'.date('Y');
$arabic_date = str_replace($standard , $eastern_arabic_symbols , $current_date);
