Starting with a unix timestamp for 31 December 2012 13:12:12 (which is 1356952332) I calculate a week number: $ux_date = 1356952332; $weeknumber = date("W", $ux_date); // returns 01 instead of 52

I'm not that familiar with date, I tend to use strftime myself (no idea why there's both). Sounds like date's W is equivalent to strftime's %V which does indeed return "01" for this date as there's at least 4 days of the new year in that particular week. Both %U and %W seem to return what you want, using strftime. I'd guess that date would also have flags for these. Cheers, Geoff.
