Hi all,
    Can somebody please explain this for me...
wb@vaio:/usr/home/wb [11]-> php <?php $time = strtotime('now -5 weeks'); printf("\n\n%s is in week %d of the year %d\n\n", date('Y-m-d', $time), date('W', $time), date('Y', $time)); ?> ^D 2003-12-30 is in week 1 of the year 2003 wb@vaio:/usr/home/wb [12]->
    Why does it return 1 as the week of the year for that date?

Because week 1 is defined as the first week with four or more days in the new year. Therefore, working backwards, the 29th-31st are also in week 1 in 2004. Mike
