0 is Sunday, 6 is Saturday.
Week that overlaps two years belongs
to year that contains most days of that
week. Hence week number for 1st
January of a given year can be 53 if
week belongs to previous year.
date("W", mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 8,
$year)) always gives correct number of
weeks in $year.
The Epoch is the 1st January 1970.
