Description:
------------
for india there is a wartime correction between September 1, 1942 to October 14, 1945, timezone in this period should be 6.30 and regular timezone for india is 5hours 30 minutes East,
but its showing timezone as 6hours 30min east for a date other than above mentioned period ex. 15 january 1942 timezone should be 05hours 30min east but DateTimeZone() function converting timezone as 6hours 30minutes east

Expected result:

From 1941-09-30 to 1942-05-14 the time for Asia/Kolkata
has been BURT, i.e. UTC+6:30h[1].

Thanks,
it cleared my doubt, as many Astrology Softwares (I am an Astrologer, so I need to know current and historic timezones) shows wartime correction for the time between September 1, 1942, to October 14, 1945. I use php datetimezone function to get timezones. Now my doubt cleared, its not a bug in php
