What are some potential pitfalls to avoid when converting numeric weekday values to weekday names in PHP?

One potential pitfall to avoid when converting numeric weekday values to weekday names in PHP is not accounting for the fact that PHP's `date()` function uses 0 for Sunday and 6 for Saturday, while some systems may use 1 for Monday and 7 for Sunday. To address this, you can adjust the numeric values accordingly before converting them to weekday names. 

// Convert numeric weekday values to weekday names
function getWeekdayName($weekday) {
    $weekday = ($weekday == 7) ? 0 : $weekday; // Adjust for different numeric representations
    $weekdayNames = ['Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday'];
    return $weekdayNames[$weekday];
}

// Example usage
$weekday = 1; // Assuming Monday is represented by 1
echo getWeekdayName($weekday); // Output: Monday
