New Comment:
Sorry for opening the ticket with so little information, and thank you
very much
for your reply. I was using a third party library fro listing all
timezones along
with their offsets and while all seemed right, this one was listed as
-5.5, I
tested the code you provided and in fact -4.5 is returned. I guess I'll
have to
fix the library instead.
Again, thanks a lot for your help and sorry for wasting your time :)

I'm rather confused by your bug: DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers() doesn't
list offsets, and the code that does appears to be correct on any recent
PHP version:
<?php
$tz = new DateTimeZone("America/Caracas");
var_dump($tz->getOffset(new DateTime()) / 3600);
?>
outputs float(-4.5), which lines up with your bug.
What version of PHP are you running, what does phpinfo() list the Olson
Timezone Database Version as, and what do you get when you run the above
code?

Description:
------------
When using DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers() the offset for
America/Caracas is shown
as GMT -5:30, when it should be GMT -4:30
This can be validated here
