In Hijri date the number symbols are convert into islamic language. 

So first we need a function which will convert the one by one digits of date into Arabic. And its code will be go  like this:-

 public function changeDate($date)
        {         

            $months = array(
                "1" => "",
                "2" => "",
                "3" => "",
                "4" => "",
                "5" => "",
                "6" => "",
                "7" => "",
                "8" => "",
                "9" => "",
                "10" => "",
                "11" => "",
                "12" => ""
            );

            $date_exp = explode('/', $date);
            $ar_dar = $date_exp[2]; //used as year now
            $en_month = $date_exp[1];  //used as month as same
            $ar_year = $date_exp[0]; //used as month now

       
            $standard = array("0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9");
            $eastern_arabic_symbols = array("","","","","","","","","","");
            $current_date = $ar_year.'/'. $ar_month.'/'.$ar_dar;
            $arabic_date = str_replace($standard , $eastern_arabic_symbols , $current_date);
            return $arabic_date = str_replace(' ', '', $arabic_date);
