Comment (by autotutorial):

 I certainly elaborate my report, I admire WordPress and often I copy the
 code for my personal projects, I observed the wp_timezone function returns
 a text string or a string hh: mm but keep in mind that the hour is a float
 and not int as it does current_time but especially for the timestamp does
 not take into account the timezone string, if the timezone string is
 present the quasi numerical offset has a value of 0.
 With php 7.3 I get an error if the DateTimeZone is not an object but a
 string.

 Time never stands still, in reality if you work with time zones that are
 not directly created by php, it is useful to check the DateTimeZone string
 with the WordPress string, differently when working dynamically with the
 php database timezone table ( there should not be a timezone conversion)
 also previous versions use daylight saving time incorrectly, it would be
 nice to add this also in WordPress.
 Another aspect is if I use php with local settings or the variable tz who
 knows how DateTime works? : D
