The date() function should provide a way to return the ISO 8601 year. As of yesterday's snap (STABLE-20030313), the  call:

date("Y W", 1041321600) 

returns "2002 1", which could be argued is correct as it returns the year and the ISO 8601 week, however in the context it is wrong and should probably return "2003 1".

I think there should be a formatting option to return ISO 8601 year as well as week to clear up any confusion.

Use the strftime function, which already supports this:

%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. (Use %G or %g for the year component that corresponds to the week number for the specified timestamp.)

That's perfect - I didn't look at strftime(), sorry for the waste of your time.

Unfortunately for me, the %g and %G formats are not supported under HP-UX...
