Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Changing First Day Of The Week? Post 302086884 by jim mcnamara on Monday 28th of August 2006 09:53:01 AM

You define a locale by creating and compiling a locale defintion file with localedef.
This is a discussion of the syntax of the file:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/...ml#tag_005_003

I scanned the page and I do not see an example of different first day of the week.
What I would do is look for a localedef file for a locale with Monday as the first day of the week. Arabic may be a good choice. I really do not know. I suspect that the day-name order is changed, which will cause you pain elsewhere.

Anyway any and all locale changes for specialty locales are made with localedef.

IntlCalendar::getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek - Get minimal number of days the first week in a year or month can have

	Object oriented style

SYNOPSIS
public int IntlCalendar::getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek (void ) DESCRIPTION
Procedural style int intlcal_get_minimal_days_in_first_week (IntlCalendar $cal) Returns the smallest number of days the first week of a year or month must have in the new year or month. For instance, in the Gregorian calendar, if this value is 1, then the first week of the year will necessarily include January 1st, while if this value is 7, then the week with January 1st will be the first week of the year only if the day of the week for January 1st matches the day of the week returned by IntlCalendar.getFirstDayOfWeek(3); otherwise it will be the previous years last week. PARAMETERS
o $cal - The IntlCalendar resource. RETURN VALUES
An int representing a number of days or FALSE on failure. EXAMPLES
Example #1 IntlCalendar.getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek(3) <?php ini_set('date.timezone', 'UTC'); ini_set('intl.default_locale', 'en_US'); $cal = new IntlGregorianCalendar(2013, 0 /* January */, 2); var_dump(IntlDateFormatter::formatObject($cal, 'cccc')); // Wednesday var_dump($cal->getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek(), // 1 $cal->getFirstDayofWeek()); // 1 (Sunday) // Week 1 of 2013 var_dump(IntlDateFormatter::formatObject($cal, "'Week 'w' of 'Y")); $cal->setMinimalDaysInFirstWeek(4); // Still Week 1 of 2013 (1st week has 5 days in the new year) var_dump(IntlDateFormatter::formatObject($cal, "'Week 'w' of 'Y")); $cal->setMinimalDaysInFirstWeek(6); // Week 53 of 2012 var_dump(IntlDateFormatter::formatObject($cal, "'Week 'w' of 'Y")); The above example will output: string(9) "Wednesday" int(1) int(1) string(14) "Week 1 of 2013" string(14) "Week 1 of 2013" string(15) "Week 53 of 2012" PHP Documentation Group INTLCALENDAR.GETMINIMALDAYSINFIRSTWEEK(3)
