Bug in PHP time conversion?

TimeZoneNameFrom = 'PST';
TimeZoneNameTo = 'Europe/Amsterdam';
TimeStr = '2019-3-20 23:59:00';

$convertedTime = date_create($TimeStr, new DateTimeZone($TimeZoneNameFrom))->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone($TimeZoneNameTo))->format("j F H.i");

Why does this give

21 March 08.59 CET

instead of the correct

21 March 07.59 CET

?

Full disclosure: Daylight Saving Time - Not a fan. I cannot explain why "PDT" also gives the wrong result. But instead of having to know what time of year it is and when the clocks change, suggest putting the tz from and tz to into the same "unit of measure" and let the computer figure it out. Use "America/Los_Angeles" for tz from and you should see the expected result.
