Current week in webpage

Question

This is my code , everything works fine except $w which should be present week number .

  $w="WEEKOFYEAR()";

I have declared everything and my code works when i hard code the week number

$w=13;

insert($actual,$target['value'],$country,$ini,$goal ,$comment,$an,$w,$con);

I get the following error : Instead of it showing week number 13; it is starting from 0

I believe the error is very self explanatory: The function `WEEKOFYEAR` is undefined (i.e. it doesn't exist). — Steve, Apr 04 '13 at 19:04
Apart from it not existing, why do you have WEEKOFYEAR() in quotes? — vascowhite, Apr 04 '13 at 19:06
A simple google yields plenty of results. Please try to search before you ask. — Aydin Hassan, Apr 04 '13 at 19:06

The problem is that WEEKOFYEAR() is not a default PHP function. Use date() to get the present week number.

$w = date('W');

Note that the "W" is a capital W, it makes a difference.

Also, check out the PHP documentation for date(): http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

If you want to get the current week, you may try this

$weekNumber = date("W");
