You need to provide a UNIX timestamp for the second parameter of the date function. You are providing 7 in the second parameter in the which means 7 second after Jan 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC. And that day was thursday. So your code result in displaying Kamis i.e. Thursday.

You can simply use this code to get today's day.

$date_indonesia = date('w');

And for another date, try

$date_indonesia = dat('w',strtotime("DD-MM-YYYY");

where DD-MM-YYYY represents that date.
