### Description

public IntlCalendar::getDayOfWeekType ( int `$dayOfWeek` ) : int|false

Procedural style

intlcal_get_day_of_week_type ( IntlCalendar `$cal` , int `$dayOfWeek` ) : int|false

Returns whether the passed day is a weekday (`IntlCalendar::DOW_TYPE_WEEKDAY`), a weekend day (`IntlCalendar::DOW_TYPE_WEEKEND`), a day during which a transition occurs into the weekend (`IntlCalendar::DOW_TYPE_WEEKEND_OFFSET`) or a day during which the weekend ceases (`IntlCalendar::DOW_TYPE_WEEKEND_CEASE`).

If the return is either `IntlCalendar::DOW_TYPE_WEEKEND_OFFSET` or `IntlCalendar::DOW_TYPE_WEEKEND_CEASE`, then IntlCalendar::getWeekendTransition() can be called to obtain the time of the transition.

This function requires ICU 4.4 or later.
