Description:
------------
The Date function have a day of the week parameter 'w'

This parameter should return 7 for sundays, not 0 to be ISO 8601 compilant

Why

http://se.php.net/date :
> w   Numeric representation of the day of the week	
> 0 (for Sunday) through 6 (for Saturday)

This week parameter do not return leading zeros when used like Date('o\WWw'), Date('o\-\WW\-w')

According to ISO 8601 monday is the first day of the week and sunday the last, numbereded 1 to 7

(Section 5.2.3 Week date states
In expressions of week dates
- day of the week is represented by one decimal digit. Monday shall be identified as day [1] of any calendar
week, and subsequent days of the same week shall be numbered in ascending sequence to Sunday (day [7]).) like:

Date       - Week (extended format YYYY-Www-D)
---------- - ----------

It's returning what it's documented to return. (it is not some ISO standard it complies to but the PHP manual)

 [2005-08-30 12:42 UTC] sandved at gmail dot com
Is it possible then to add a (ISO day) parameter which return 1 for monday, 2 for tuesday, ..., 6 for saturday and 7 for sunday?
 [2005-08-30 16:23 UTC] sniper@php.net
Yeah, but it's not a bug but missing feature.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

Fixed for PHP 5.1 and 6 by adding the "N" modifier.
