Description:
------------
When trying to set the time zone EET, we got offset +2 but expext +3.
The bug is in all versions since 5.5.10.

http://3v4l.org/0M1S9#v542

Test script:
---------------
<?php
date_default_timezone_set('EET');
$date = new DateTime();
var_dump($date);
$date->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('EET'));
var_dump($date);

Expected result:
----------------
 object(DateTime)#1 (3) {
  ["date"]=>
  string(19) "2014-04-09 12:23:44"
  ["timezone_type"]=>
  int(3)
  ["timezone"]=>
  string(3) "EET"
}
object(DateTime)#1 (3) {
  ["date"]=>
  string(19) "2014-04-09 12:23:44"
  ["timezone_type"]=>
  int(3)
  ["timezone"]=>
  string(3) "EET"
}

Actual result:
--------------
 object(DateTime)#1 (3) {
  ["date"]=>
  string(19) "2014-04-09 12:23:44"
  ["timezone_type"]=>
  int(3)
  ["timezone"]=>
  string(3) "EET"
}
object(DateTime)#1 (3) {
  ["date"]=>
  string(19) "2014-04-09 11:23:44"
  ["timezone_type"]=>
  int(2)
  ["timezone"]=>
  string(3) "EET"
}

I have a similar issue when setting "CEST" as a timezone. As of PHP v5.5.10, setting timezone to CEST will result in different timestamp stored internally. Possibly it is the same issue.

See https://3v4l.org/kuXoW

Apparently, all other timezones and timezone abbreviations are
affected. Maybe a documentation issue only?

EET is not a timezone but an abbreviation. These are nit unique. This is indeed not a bug but a documentation issue.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
