Please check: http://php.net/manual/en/intldateformatter.create.php

<?php

// date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Tehran');

$now = new DateTime();

$formatter = new IntlDateFormatter(
                "fa_IR@calendar=persian", 
                IntlDateFormatter::FULL, 
                    IntlDateFormatter::FULL, 
                'Asia/Tehran', 
                IntlDateFormatter::TRADITIONAL, 
                "yyyy-MM-dd");

// It is now: 1396-12-14
echo 'It is now: ' . convert_to_number($formatter->format($now)) ."<br />"; 

// It is now: ۱۳۹۶-۱۲-۱۴
echo 'It is now: ' . $formatter->format($now) ."<br />"; 


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

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

    return $englishNumbersOnly;
}

Thank's to all, but it will not help. What I want is, if I echo date('Y-m-d') then it should return 1396-12-15 instead of 2018-03-06. – Ashutosh Singh Lodhi Mar 06 '18 at 07:45

Isn't there any better way to convert numbers to English ones ? – M at Jul 15 '19 at 08:22

Use "en_US@calendar=persian", to get English numbering. – M at Jul 15 '19 at 08:25

If use `en_US` instead of `fa_IR` then you don't need to use `convert_to_number` function. – Nabi K.A.Z. Sep 18 '19 at 13:29
this function just convert date and it doesnt return time!,i want both date and time "Y-m-d h:i" – Nadia Aug 17 '20 at 11:33

Finglish (Persian) date format in php :

<?php

// date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Tehran');

$now = new DateTime();

$formatter = new IntlDateFormatter(
                "en_US@calendar=persian", 
                IntlDateFormatter::FULL, 
                    IntlDateFormatter::FULL, 
                'Asia/Tehran', 
                IntlDateFormatter::TRADITIONAL, 
                "yyyy-MMMM-dd");

// It is now: 1401-Bahman-20
echo 'It is now: ' . $formatter->format($now) ."<br />"; 
?>
