Solution

  • You can use the available Hijri to gregorian converter class to get gregorian date first than use strtotime to get your required output

    include "Hijri_GregorianConvert.class.php";
$DateConv=new Hijri_GregorianConvert;
$format="YYYY/MM/DD";
$hijriDate="1439-03-09";
$gregorianDate = $DateConv->HijriToGregorian($hijriDate,$format);
echo "Hijri to Gregorian Result: ".$gregorianDate."<br>";
echo $your_date = strtotime($gregorianDate);

    this class also offer some additional features related to hijri date.
