I think this is do to this map: https://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=blob;f=ext/date/lib/timezonemap.h;h=d8898bf33dc76b90b12b0f01d2e1b832d87d68b2;hb=refs/heads/master#l1510 This map should be updated. All non european timezones should be removed and Paris, Luxembourg, Brussels, Madrid and Monaco also, since they are not part of WEST. Test script: --------------- echo timezone_name_from_abbr('WEST'); // echoes Europe/Paris it should return Europe/Lisbon or other adequate result Expected result: ---------------- Europe/Lisbon Actual result: -------------- Europe/Paris ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74824&edit=1
