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

The most of the above given examples create a problem when a year has 53 weeks (like 2020). So every fourth year you will experience a week difference. This code does not:

$thisYear = "2020";
$thisDate = "2020-04-24"; //or any other custom date
$weeknr = date("W", strtotime($thisDate)); //when you want the weeknumber of a specific week, or just enter the weeknumber yourself

$tempDatum = new DateTime();
$tempDatum->setISODate($thisYear, $weeknr);
$tempDatum_start = $tempDatum->format('Y-m-d');
$tempDatum->setISODate($thisYear, $weeknr, 7);
$tempDatum_end = $tempDatum->format('Y-m-d');

echo $tempDatum_start //will output the date of monday
echo $tempDatum_end // will output the date of sunday
