PHP DateTimeZone Member Access

Question

I have a DateTimeZone object, let us call this $TimeZone.

DateTimeZone Object
(
    [timezone_type] => 2
    [timezone] => Z
)

I want to get timezone_type and timezone as string values. I have got timezone using the following line-

$timezone=$TimeZone->getName();

But I am not getting $timezone_type.

there is a thread related to this issue see this:Here

A hack can be, you can convert the object to array then access the index:

$date = new DateTimeZone('Europe/London');
$x=(array) $date;
echo $x['timezone_type'];//3
