Weekday Code u vs. Code w

[ikarus1969]

Hello everybody,

maybe i have forgotten how to work around this but i get the same code for a weekday for both format-codes w and u.
The first should be the number of the weekday as number starting with sunday as the first day in week (with a range 0 to 6), the second one should be the weekday as number starting with monday (ISO8601; with a range from 1 to 7).

For me, both codes tell me it's weekday number 5, which can't be. Does anyone know why or what's wrong with the code?

I think these will always be the same for Monday through Saturday, with Sunday being the only difference.

%u: ISO 8601 weekday as number with Monday as 1 (1-7):

Code: Select all

1 - Monday
2 - Tuesday
3 - Wednesday
4 - Thursday
5 - Friday
6 - Saturday
7 - Sunday

%w: Weekday as a decimal number with Sunday as 0 (0-6):

Code: Select all

0 - Sunday
1 - Monday
2 - Tuesday
3 - Wednesday
4 - Thursday
5 - Friday
6 - Saturday

That would make sense - thank you Brian!
