Are you saying that December 31st is not a day? Because it totally is.

The arithmetic is correct.

You're right, arithmetic is correct but 31-12-2013 is not exist in any calendars.
Eg. i need display a week from this day:
$d->format('W') return 01 - but maybe throw a exception? why return 01??

December 31st, 2013 most certainly does exist, and it does in every Gregorian calendar-based system around. That's not even up for discussion, it simply *is*.

As for your question, read the documentation for date() [1] to see that "W" is the ISO 8601 week number [2], which is a two digit zero-padded number.
