Hi, Ahmed, Salam wa alaikum, While the PHP solution you devised for Arabic numerals using HTML character entity references works just fine, I thought I would present an alternative solution which is simpler and, because it uses the built-in PHP "strtr()" function, may be faster:
http://eyegene.ophthy.med.umich.edu/arabic/index.php In this solution, a "$digits" array has a one-to-one mapping between the ASCII numeric digits and the Arabic digits U+0660 -> U+0669. The code is written directly in UTF-8. We then simply use PHP's built-in "strtr()" function to translate occurrences of ASCII numerals to the Arabic numerals. So conversion takes only one line of PHP code. The web page is generated as an XHTML page using "charset=utf-8" and the body tag is given a CSS style for RTL.
