Description

The following code:

<?php
foreach (timezone_identifiers_list(DateTimeZone::ALL_WITH_BC) as $zone) {
        $timezone = new DateTimeZone($zone);
}

Resulted in this output:

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught DateInvalidTimeZoneException: DateTimeZone::__construct(): Unknown or bad timezone (leapseconds) in /root/a.php:3
Stack trace:
#0 /root/a.php(3): DateTimeZone->__construct('leapseconds')

But I expected this output instead:

no error

my timezone_identifiers_list(DateTimeZone::ALL_WITH_BC) includes invalid timezones:

  • leapseconds
  • tzdata.zi
