timezone - How to get the names and abbreviations of a time zone in PHP?

Question

Starting with a time zone identifier, such as "America/Los_Angeles", how do you find the names and abbreviations of that time zone in PHP? For example:

'PST', 'Pacific Standard Time', 'PDT', 'Pacific Daylight Time'

If I could get only the short abbreviation ('PST' and 'PDT'), that would be ok.

I've looked at DateTimeZone::listAbbreviations(), and tried inspecting that to see which correspond with my id, however for America/Los_Angeles, it finds "PST", "PDT", "PPT" and "PWT" which is slightly curious.

<?php
    date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Sofia');
    echo date_default_timezone_get(); // Europe/Sofia
    echo ' => '.date('T'); // => EET
?>
