Description:
------------
Wrong value output. It does not matter whether TimeZoneNameFrom is set to PST or PDT.

Test script:
---------------
TimeZoneNameFrom = 'PST';
TimeZoneNameTo = 'Europe/Amsterdam';
TimeStr = '2019-3-20 23:59:00';

$convertedTime = date_create($TimeStr, new DateTimeZone($TimeZoneNameFrom))->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone($TimeZoneNameTo))->format("j F H.i");

Expected result:
----------------
21 March 07.59 CET

Actual result:
--------------
21 March 08.59 CET

Seems like PHP assumes the transition from Standard time to Summertime occurs at the same time which is not the case with EU/USA.

Can you confirm this @derick?

PST is UTC-8, and Europe/Amsterdam on 2019-3-20T23:59:00 is UTC+1,
so nine hours difference are to be expected.  PDT is also UTC-8
for the date extension, so the actual result is to be expected.
