The add methos is confusing and too long to be used cause you have to create a DateInterval object. We extended the DateTime class by adding methods that are frequently used in our applications' code:

<?php
addDays($number_of_days)
addMonths($number_of_months)
//etc.
?>

don't know if PHP will ever add those, in the meantime you could do:

<?php
class MyDateTime extends DateTime
{
   public function addDays($number_of_days)
   {
      //below use 'D' for days, 'Y' for years, 'M' for months,
      $this->add(new DateInterval('P' . $number_of_days . 'D'));
   }

   //public function addMonths...
   //public function addYears...
}
?>
