什么是“标准”时区缩写？

我正在通过偏移UTC为应用程序使用以下下拉列表存储时区：

<select id="timezone" name="timezone" >
<option value="-12">[UTC - 12] Baker Island Time</option>
<option value="-11">[UTC - 11] Niue Time, Samoa Standard Time</option>

使用PHP，我真的没有最简单的选项将它们转换为时区缩写，我以编程方式执行此操作的唯一选择是对大约400个时区缩写的列表进行排序。有谁知道与每个时区相关的下拉列表的列表，以及当夏令时进行时，它们是什么？（我假设我需要手动定义这两个列表）

编辑：将此列表解析为每个时区的单个缩写，但它们不是“流行”的。

我的新列表

[-12] => kwat
[-11] => bst

[-9.5] => ckhst

法典：

$abbr = DateTimeZone::listAbbreviations();

$offsets=array('-12','-11','-10','-9.5','-9','-8','-7','-6',
    '-5','-4.5','-4','-3.5','-3','-2','-1','-0','1','2','3','3.5',
    '4','4.5','5','5.5','5.75','6','6.5','7','8','8.75','9','9.5',
    '10','10.5','11','11.5','12','12.75','13','14');
$new = array();
$count = 0;
$found = false;
while($count < count($offsets))
{
    foreach($abbr as $k => $v)
    {
        foreach($v as $tz)
        {
            if($tz['offset'] == $offsets[$count]*3600)
            {
                $new[$offsets[$count]] = $k;
                $found = true;
                break;
            }
        }
        if($found)
        {
            $found = false;
            break;
        }
    }
    $count++;
}
print_r($new);
