Description:
------------
According to documentation (http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php):

"
w	Numeric representation of the day of the week	0 (for Sunday) through 6 
(for Saturday)
N	ISO-8601 numeric representation of the day of the week (added in PHP 
5.1.0)	1 (for Monday) through 7 (for Sunday)
"

but date('w') returns day number in 1-7 range.


Test script:
---------------
<?php
echo date('l'), " ", date('w'), " ", date('N');

Expected result:
----------------
Tuesday 1 2

Actual result:
--------------
Tuesday 2 2

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

The only difference is that for Sunday it's 0 in the first case and 7 in the 
second.
