New Comment:
Note some of the above abbreviations are obsolete, e.g. BURT has been
replaced with MMT. But the point is timezone_name_from_abbr() does not
work for those offsets without an abbreviation.

-34200, ckhst
-16200, ant
-12600, negt
-7200, addt
12600, irst
16200, aft
19800, ist
20700, npt
21600, aktst
23400, burt
28800, bnt
34200, cast
35100, cwst
37800, cst
39600, anat
41400, lhst

Also does not return a time zone for Indian Standard Time:
timezone_name_from_abbr('', 19800, 0)

Just a quick note - this time a year, for my time zone, that should
return Anchorage (or something else in the AHST time zone) because of
DST.

Description:
------------
timezone_name_from_abbr() will return false on some time zone
offsets. In particular - Hawaii, which has a -10 from GMT offset,
-36000
seconds.
Using Denver's offset, -21600 works fine, as do most offsets, but
occasionally offsets don't return correctly.
Reproduce code:
---------------
var_dump( timezone_name_from_abbr('',-36000,1) );
Expected result:
----------------
A time zone, like maybe 'Pacific/Honolulu'
Actual result:
--------------
false
