Convert English Numbers to Devanagari Numbers in PHP
Let's convert nnumbers to Devanagari Numbers. You can simply use str_replace() function of PHP. Simply str_replace() expects at least 3 parameters. First parameter is Search, Second is Replace and third one is Subject. It means this function search for first parameter in given subject and replace it with second parameter.
<?php
function devanagari($num)
{
$num_nepali = array('०','१','२','३','४','५','६','à¥','८','९');
$num_eng = array('0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9');
$nums = str_replace($num_eng, $num_nepali, $num);
return $nums;
}
echo devanagari('13905'); //Output १३९०५
?>
