ar-php extension is a wrapper extension to the great library [Ar-PHP](http://www.ar-php.org/) which is developed by [Khaled Al-Sham'aa](http://www.ar-php.org/about-php-arabic.html)

> Note: using the library directly as a vendor without using an extension is better but the problem is that we should modify a file in the library to make it work and i preferred not to touch the lib files. (maybe i will make a wiki to explain how)

\##Requirements

This extension developed using Yii version 1.1.14 RC but it should work in all Yii versions.

\##Installation

1. download and extract the extension into extensions folder: protected/extensions/ar-php
2. download the library from [here](http://sourceforge.net/projects/ar-php/files/ar-php/).
3. extract the library into **Your-Application-Folder/vendor** , example:

```
[php]
webroot/my-yii-project-folder/protected/vendor/I18N

```

4. configure the component by updating config/main.php as follow:

```
[php]
'import'=>array(
	...
	'ext.ar-php.*'
	...
),

'components'=>array(
	...
	'I18N_Arabic'=>array(
		'class'=>'EArPHP',
		'libPath'=>'application.vendor.I18N' // optional since it is the default value
	),
	...
),

```

\##Usage

I tried to make the usage of the extension as easy as i can, in the [official website](http://www.ar-php.org/) there is an example of usage and it **will not work for our extension** but it will help us to compare between them, which is:

```
[php]
include('I18N/Arabic.php');
$obj = new I18N_Arabic('Numbers');

echo $obj->int2str(1975); // ألف و تسعمئة و خمس و سبعون

```

to generate the same example using ar-php extension use:

```
[php]
$obj = Yii::app()->I18N_Arabic->Numbers;

echo $obj->int2str(1975); // ألف و تسعمئة و خمس و سبعون

```

or simply:

```
[php]
echo Yii::app()->I18N_Arabic->Numbers->int2str(1975); // ألف و تسعمئة و خمس و سبعون

```

the same concept apply for all other features, and you can follow any feature link above for documentation and usage example.
