You can do it with below code:-

<?php

function str_split_unicode($str, $length = 1) {
    $tmp = preg_split('~~u', $str, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
    if ($length > 1) {
        $chunks = array_chunk($tmp, $length);
        foreach ($chunks as $i => $chunk) {
            $chunks[$i] = join('', (array) $chunk);
        }
        $tmp = $chunks;
    }
    return $tmp;
}

function convert($string) {
    $data = '';
    $persian = array('۰', '۱', '۲', '۳', '۴', '۵', '۶', '۷', '۸', '۹');
    $num = range(0, 9);
    foreach($string as $new_str){
        $data .= str_replace($persian, $num, $new_str);
    }
    return $data;
}
$data = str_split_unicode('۰۲۳'); // convert number into single dimensional array

echo $new_data = convert($data); // pass that array to convert function and then concatenate the whole data to get final English number
?>
