Comment(by Otto42):
Just discovered a problem. Strangely, PHP has the plus/minus reversed on
the Etc/GMT timezones. I'm currently sitting in the GMT-6 timezone as
described by this map: http://www.worldtimezone.com/ , but to get it to
show the right time, I have to select GMT+6 (well, +5 actually, since I'm
in DST right now). The point is that the + and minus are reversed.
I'm not sure how to handle this properly. I can easily reverse the sign
correctly, but people might get confused if they want to select an Etc
timezone.
Note that this problem is mentioned in the comments on
http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.others.php and I've confirmed that
it's occurring in this case as well.
