Remove Arabic Diacritic
Try this code, it's works fine:
<?php
$str = 'الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ';
$unicode = [
"~[\x{0600}-\x{061F}]~u",
"~[\x{063B}-\x{063F}]~u",
"~[\x{064B}-\x{065E}]~u",
"~[\x{066A}-\x{06FF}]~u",
];
$str = preg_replace($unicode, "", $str);
echo $str;
?>

The vowel diacritics in Arabic are combining characters, meaning that a simple search for these should suffice. There's no need to have a replace rule for every possible consonant with every possible vowel, which is a little tedious.
Here's a working example that outputs what you need:
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8', true);
$string = 'الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ';
$remove = array('ِ', 'ُ', 'ٓ', 'ٰ', 'ْ', 'ٌ', 'ٍ', 'ً', 'ّ', 'َ');
$string = str_replace($remove, '', $string);
echo $string; // outputs الحمد لله رب العالمين
What's important here is the $remove
array. It looks weird because there's a combining character between the '
quotes, so it modifies one of those single quotes. This might need saving in the same character encoding as your text is.
try this:
$string = 'الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ';
$string = preg_replace("~[\x{064B}-\x{065B}]~u", "", $string);
echo $string; // outputs الحمد لله رب العالمين
