timezone_name_from_abbr - Returns the timezone name from abbreviation

SYNOPSIS
string timezone_name_from_abbr (string $abbr, [int $gmtOffset = -1], [int $isdst = -1]) DESCRIPTION
PARAMETERS
o $abbr - Time zone abbreviation. o $gmtOffset - Offset from GMT in seconds. Defaults to -1 which means that first found time zone corresponding to $abbr is returned. Otherwise exact offset is searched and only if not found then the first time zone with any offset is returned. o $isdst - Daylight saving time indicator. Defaults to -1, which means that whether the time zone has daylight saving or not is not taken into consideration when searching. If this is set to 1, then the $gmtOffset is assumed to be an offset with daylight saving in effect; if 0, then $gmtOffset is assumed to be an offset without daylight saving in effect. If $abbr doesn't exist then the time zone is searched solely by the $gmtOffset and $isdst. RETURN VALUES
Returns time zone name on success or FALSE on failure. EXAMPLES
Example #1 A timezone_name_from_abbr(3) example <?php echo timezone_name_from_abbr("CET") . " "; echo timezone_name_from_abbr("", 3600, 0) . " "; ?> The above example will output something similar to: Europe/Berlin Europe/Paris SEE ALSO
timezone_abbreviations_list(3). PHP Documentation Group TIMEZONE_NAME_FROM_ABBR(3)
