I think this is equivalent:
<?php
$vowels ='/[\x{064B}-\x{0652}]/u';
$newstr = preg_replace($vowels,"",$str);
The string should be UTF-8 encoded.

it works thank you very much, i've made it using another way but your way is the best,
I believe what you want is PHP's preg_replace(). I have no idea how PHP handles Unicode so I'm unsure if you can just take the Python pattern as-is and use it with PHP, but the syntax for using preg_replace() would be something like this:
<?php
$mystring = "jask;lfjalksdf"
$pattern = "/\u064B-\u0652/";
$replacement = "";
echo preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $mystring);
?>

Thank you for your reply, i still have that problem with Unicode, the regex expresion is not correct. I get this error: Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Compilation failed: PCRE does not support \L, \l, \N{name}, \U, or \u at offset 1
re.compile() means its compiling a regular expression. Look at this for some help.
The sub function is essentially adding str to the beginning of the regular expression.
More info on python regular expressions can be found here
