Description:
------------
I am using php-5.2.6 currently, while writing a function to get week number using date("W") I found that the value it is returning is wrong.
I searched for the solution and found that this is a bug [Bug #33957] in PHP which is already being solved. But when I try for the year 2008 it returns the wrong value. I tried with the latest version of PHP but the problem is still there.

Thanks

Supratik

Reproduce code:
---------------
$datestr = "2008-12-29  00:00:00";
$da = new DateTime($datestr);
$t = $da->format("U");
echo "Week number: " . date("W", $t);

Expected result:
----------------
Week number: 53

Actual result:
--------------
Week number: 01

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

W displays the ISO week number, which is really 01 right now (of the ISO year 2009).

Thanks for your quick response, I downloaded the PHP Windows snapshot "Windows x86 VC9 (thread safe))" and checked with the date "Mon Dec 29, 2008". It returns the week number of year as "1" where I expect this to return as "53" in ISO standard.

Thanks

No, 1 is correct. See:
