<?php $timezoneName = timezone_name_from_abbr("", 28800, false); ?>
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'DateTimeZone::__construct()

I am using PHP 5.3.6 MSVC9 (Visual C++ 2008).
It is January 2013 and this bug is still around, even though 23 out of 24 current votes reproduced
the bug!!

I have the exact same problem and I found this bug entry thanks to someone at
stackoverflow. Here was my original question:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6180892/why-does-timezone-name-from-abbr-
return-an-empty-string
Test Code
------------------------------
$offset = -10; //UM10
echo timezone_name_from_abbr('', $offset * 3600, true); //empty string
Expected Result
------------------------------
Pacific/Honolulu
Actual result:
------------------------------
false
I am using PHP 5.3.0.

I was able to resolve this by changing the fallbackmap from hours to minutes (the bug is apparently
due to some issue with float vs. integer). Also, this patch adds Caracas and Shanghai time (there
are likely other missing time zones, however) and uses the new spelling for Calcutta (Kolkata).

The originally filed reproduce code
var_dump( timezone_name_from_abbr('',-36000,1) );
and expected result 'Pacific/Honolulu' are not actually valid because Honolulu does not
observe daylight saving time. See comments above for what look like actual bugs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2008-11-07 17:33:44] mfburdett at gmail dot com
The affected population sizes of the two issues may be similar after all: China standard time is
missing from the fallbackmap (offset 8 hours, daylight saving time 0).
