That is expected behaviour.  Please read the manual: http://www.php.net/manual/function.strftime.php

%V - The ISO 8601:1988 week number of the current year as a decimal number, range 01 to 53, where week 1 is the first week that has at least 4 days in the current year, and with Monday as the first day of the week.

A small correction. This *isn't* the expected result. Or at least, with my understanding of the actual definition of %V.
They should both be 52.

But keeping closed anyway, this is not a PHP related bug.
PHP just calls the systems c-library function strftime and
passes the result back. Nothing to fix unless we roll up our
own version (in which case there could be too much to
fix...).

True.  And on my Linux the specific example returns 52 and 52.
