Description:
------------
The function timezone_name_from_abbr returns an inaccurate result when WEST is provided as an abbreviation without further parameters. 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

Please report that upstream[1].  While PHP ships a bundled
timelib, we usually do not apply any patches there, but rather
update from upstream from time to time.
