please use %Y

%G, %g, %V, and %u is used for ISO8601 weekdays. please see the documentation of %V for more information. http://php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php

Yeah - you almost certainly don't want to use %G http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_week_date

"The ISO 8601 definition for week 01 is the week with the year's first Thursday in it. Hence the earliest possible dates are 29 December through 4 January, the latest 4 through 10 January."
