From my limited knowledge of Arabic, it seem that, because Arabic's diction and vocabulary are in harmony with its grammar, inventing new words are a matter of straight forward application of existing rules; that is also exactly the reason why it is hard in Farsi. ___ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb

Re: Help me...
Hi,
As I mentioned in my original posting, I am not a PHP programmer; But,
it seems that for keyboard input functions you WILL have to convert
UTF-8 to HTML encoding if you want to use your function; for example
by calling a function like htmlentities() or utf8_decode() before
calling utf8_to_int(). The pseudo code looks like this:
if (input is in UTF-8) {# for example input is from a Linux keyboard
$str = htmlentities($str, ENT_COMPAT, "UTF-8" );
}
$intvalue = utf8_ot_int($str);
I've included the function again; I added the extra code to check for "x in set y"
test. Also note the use of the built-in strtr() function. These builtins usually
are more efficient (written in C) and are faster. This code has not been tested.
function utf8_to_int($str)
{
$transtbl = array (
"۰" => '0',
"۱" => '1',
"۲" => '2',
"۳" => '3',
"۴" => '4',
"۵" => '5',
"۶" => '6',
"۷" => '7',
"۸" => '8',
"۹" => '9'
);
foreach ($transtbl as $key => $value) {
if ($key == $str) { # it has an HTML
encoded numeric
$str = strtr($str, $transtbl); # convert all of them to ASCII
[0-9]
return (int) $str; # convert to whole
thing to integer
}
}
return (int) $str;
}
One last thing, this function (and your version) has a fatal flaw. Do you
want to guess what it is?
Hint: What happens if the string is "ABCDE"? What is the difference in the
return value from the function for the strings "ABCD" and "۰"?

Hi dears.
Mr.Tavakkolian was helping me until my function completed.
This function converts utf8(digit) to integer.
$farsi_table_linux=array("NONE",
"۰",
"۱",
"۲",
"۳",
"۴",
"۵",
"۶",
"۷",
"۸",
"۹");
function search_index_array($str)
{
global $farsi_table;
for ($i=0;$i<11;$i++)
{
if ($farsi_table[$i]==$str )
return $i;
}
return FALSE;
}// end of search_index_array
function utf8_to_int($str)
{
$len=strlen($str);
$out="";
$char=explode(";",$str);
for ($i=0;$i<$len;$i++)
{
$char[$i].=";";
if (search_index_array($char[$i])!=False)
$out.=search_index_array($char[$i])-1;
}//end of for ($i)
return $out;
}//end of utf8_to_int
When i call utf8_to_int("۰"."۹") ,this return 09 ,But When i enter a
number(utf8) via keyboard,This function return 0.
Please guide me that i how enter a number via keyboard(persian) & i get true answer.
--regards

Re: Help.....
The online document below has the information you need.
http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.utf8-encode.php
The only thing that the code segment you sent seems to do is use
the (int) cast to convert a string to an integer. It first tries
to match the strings '۰' through '۹' against the
input strings. If it matches, it casts the string to integer.
PHP uses the standard C library function strtod() to do the cast.
I suspect that PHP converts the HTML encoding back to UTF8 encoding
(probably utf8_encode function) before calling strtod(); Basically '۰'
becomes 0x6F0, etc.. Strtod() then tries to convert the string, paying attention
to the locale and interprets the 0x6F0-0x6F9 unicode values as numeric 0-9;
I don't know why it wouldn't work on all browsers.
If you want details, continue reading.
The script is very obfuscated. Starting with this array:
> $farsi_table=array("4758678", "3835495459", #Zero
> "3835495559", #one
> "3835495659", #two
>"3835495759", #three
>"38354955564859", #four
>"38354955564959", #five
>"38354955565059", #six
>"38354955565159", #seven
>"38354955565259", #eight
>"38354955565359" #nine
> );
If you take the string "3835495459" (The "#Zero" element) and then
convert it to two character sequences "38 35 49 55 55 54 59" and then
lookup the those ordinal positions in an ASCII table -- the 38th ASCII
character is '&', the 35th is '#', the 49th is '1', the 55th is '7',
etc. -- you'll see that these strings are just representing the ascii
values for '& # 1 7 7 6 ;' in decimal! Why not just leave those as "۰", etc.
The string '۰' as you all know, is the HTML notation for
specifying a character that can't be typed for whatever reason. In
this case this is the representation of the UNICODE value 0x6F0 which
is "extended arabic-indic digit zero". The others follow the same
logic, all the way to "۹". The function utf8_to_int() is in fact
not a UTF8-to-int conversion, but an HTML-encoding-of-UTF8-to-int
conversion.
I think the following will do what you want, and it might help avoid
problems with strtod() versions that might not be unicode safe.
function utf8_to_int($str)
{
$transtbl = array (
"۰" => '0',
"۱" => '1',
"۲" => '2',
"۳" => '3',
"۴" => '4',
"۵" => '5',
"۶" => '6',
"۷" => '7',
"۸" => '8',
"۹" => '9'
);
# Could add the following line to make sure that
# the string is HTML encoded first
# $str = htmlentities($str, ENT_COMPAT, "UTF-8" );
$str = strtr($str, $transtbl);
return (int) $str;
}
Disclaimer: I have not tested the code above and in fact I've never
written a PHP script before tonight. I spent a few hours reading the
language manual and looking at the sources tonight. I can't guarantee
the results :)

Re: [farsiweb]unicode fields in database
> All these problems with the Arabic script makes me a believer in changing our >alphabet to a Latin-based one and getting rid of all these unnecessary headaches :-) It is much easier to make the changes to the software to add the sorting rules of a new coding than it would be to retrain 70M+ people. BTW, what you suggest would transfer the problem somewhere else. So many of the words in Farsi are from Arabic base that in order to preserve the etymology of the words, you are forced to devise a one-to-one mapping of chars in Arabic glyph form to Latin form. So now you have the sorting problem somewhere else. I don't believe changing the char set would offer you any advantages either. I don't know if anyone would say that the state of comp. sci. or automation is markedly better in Turkey vs. Iran, for example. Turkey adopted the Latin char set some 70 years ago. It is interesting to observe, when visiting historical sites in Turkey, that most Turks can't read the poetry that is inscribed in stone in so many mosques and palaces. Sad indeed. Not adopting a Latin char set has not hurt Japan. -Fariborz ___ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb
