How to Convert Date to Thai

Question

The Thai text I want to end up with is: อาทิตย์ 03 มกราคม 2016 to อาทิตย์ ๐๓ มกราคม ๒๐๑๖

I don't think it should matter what language but in this case it is Thai.

My function is:

$strdate = get_thai_date();
print_r($strdate["number"]);

And the output is:

Array (
  [0] => ๐ 

  [1] => ๑

  [2] => ๒ 

  [3] => ๓

  [4] => ๔

  [5] => ๕

  [6] => ๖

  [7] => ๗

  [8] => ๘

  [9] => ๙
)

The input is sunday 03 january 2016 and I am trying to return อาทิตย์ 03 มกราคม 2016, but not อาทิตย์ ๐๓ มกราคม ๒๐๑๖.

Would a function like preg_replace(), strstr() or something else work? Can someone provide an examples?

There's no get_thai_date function in WordPress or in PHP, where is this function coming from and how is it implemented? the same goes for the other variations you mentioned, they're not a part of standard WordPress — Tom J Nowell, Commented Jul 13, 2018 at 21:35
I made get_thai_date(). In functions.php: function get_thai_date() {...} — Dani, Commented Jul 13, 2018 at 23:35
@Dani Can you edit your question to include the code where you wrote the get_thai_date() function please? — DaveLak, Commented Jul 13, 2018 at 23:36
setlocale(LC_TIME, "th_TH.UTF-8"); echo strftime("%A %d %B %Y", strtotime(get_the_date())); $strdate = get_thai_date(); print_r($strdate["number"]); //preg, strstr or others. What to do? — Dani, Commented Jul 13, 2018 at 23:43
function get_thai_date() { $strdate = array ( "number" => array("๐", "๑", "๒", "๓", "๔", "๕", "๖", "๗", "๘", "๙"), //... ) } output Array ( [0] => ๐ [1] => ๑ [2] => ๒ [3] => ๓ [4] => ๔ [5] => ๕ [6] => ๖ [7] => ๗ [8] => ๘ [9] => ๙ ) — Dani, Commented Jul 13, 2018 at 23:49

Update

setlocale(LC_TIME, "th_TH.UTF-8");
echo strftime("%A %d %B %Y", strtotime(get_the_date()));

Before: อาทิตย์ 03 มกราคม 2016

//$strdate = get_thai_date();
//print_r($strdate["number"]); //preg, strstr or others.

//$strdate = date_i18n(...);

After: อาทิตย์ ๐๓ มกราคม ๒๐๑๖
