date("w"): 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 return 53rd week if
week belongs to previous year.
date("W", mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 28, $year))
always gives correct number of weeks in
$year.

The Epoch was the 1st January 1970.
