It can be unclear for someone how to use this function.
Here is the example:
$date=date_create("2013-03-15");
date_sub($date,date_interval_create_from_date_string("40 days"));
echo date_format($date,"Y-m-d");
This function is an alias of: DateTime::sub()
It can be unclear for someone how to use this function.
Here is the example:

To glue to the OOP, it's better to use it with DateInterval::createFromDateString
<?php
$dateB = new DateTime('2020-12-20');
$dateA = $dateB->sub(DateInterval::createFromDateString('10 days'));
?>
more detail here :
<?php
public static function createFromDateString ($time) {}
?>
You cannot replace date_sub('2000-01-20') by DateTime::sub('2000-01-20') because DateTime::sub is not static. You have to create the DateTime object first.
Example:
<?php $dateA = date_sub('2000-01-20', date_interval_create_from_date_string('10 days')); ?>
will be replace by
<?php
$dateB = new DateTime('2000-01-20');
$dateA = $dateB->sub(date_interval_create_from_date_string('10 days'));
?>
