This is correct, the "W" shows the ISO week, which you need to match against the ISO year specifier ("o" - small "O"). ISO Week 2008-01 goes from Dec 31st to Jan 6th. This will return what you expect:

echo date('Yo', strtotime('2007-12-31')), "\n";

strftime() would not be good to rely on, as the output might differ on other operating systems.
