Get week number (in the year) from a date PHP

Question

I want to take a date and work out its week number.

So far, I have the following. It is returning 24 when it should be 42.

Answer 1

To get the week number for a date in North America I do like this:

function week_number($n)
{
    $w = date('w', $n);
    return 1 + date('z', $n + (6 - $w) * 24 * 3600) / 7;
}

$n = strtotime('2022-12-27');
printf("%s: %d\n", date('D Y-m-d', $n), week_number($n));

and get:

Tue 2022-12-27: 53
