You can view the PHP source code ( https://github.com/php/php-src ) and the search function to see its implementation.

UPDATE

forget about it using the php intl extension. will be part of the php core in the future.

<?php
    // format
    $format = datefmt_create('fa_IR@calendar=persian', IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::FULL, 'Asia/Tehran', IntlDateFormatter::TRADITIONAL, 'yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm');

    // time in locale as you wish
    var_dump(datefmt_format($format, time())); // '۱۳۹۱/۰۲/۰۴ ۱۹:۱۵'

ICU project support if you want to support i18n Persian for all languages.
