### Examples

Example #1 IntlCalendar::setFirstDayOfWeek

`<?php
ini_set('date.timezone', 'Europe/Lisbon');
ini_set('intl.default_locale', 'es_ES');
$cal = IntlCalendar::createInstance();
$cal->set(2013, 5 /* June */, 30); // A Sunday
var_dump($cal->getFirstDayOfWeek()); // 2 (Monday)
echo IntlDateFormatter::formatObject($cal, <<<EOD
'local day of week: 'cc'
week of month : 'W'
week of year : 'ww
EOD
), "\n";
$cal->setFirstDayOfWeek(IntlCalendar::DOW_SUNDAY);
echo IntlDateFormatter::formatObject($cal, <<<EOD
'local day of week: 'cc'
week of month : 'W'
week of year : 'ww
EOD
), "\n";`

The above example will output:

    int(2)
    local day of week: 7
    week of month    : 4
    week of year     : 26
    local day of week: 1
    week of month    : 5
    week of year     : 27
