我不能改变使用除此之外的任何应用程序。我需要能够将这些字符串转换为PHP可以用date（）函数理解的内容。不幸的是strtotime（）似乎没有办法。有没有什么办法可以做到这一点，自己写一个自定义函数呢？

这些是Microsoft Windows时区的标识。 PHP使用IANA/Olson时区。详细信息请参见the timezone tag wiki。

作为Unicode CLDR的一部分，您会发现a mapping of these zones here。

我已经写了.NET的转换函数，which you can find here。您可能可以使用原始资源以PHP编写类似的函数或您选择的任何语言。
