Heya, To me, an interval is well represented by DateInterval, while the DateTime::modify() method looks more like a shortcut to it. Do you really need the additional functionality? Shouldn't it be easier to $date->add(new DateInterval('P15D')); ? It is also a better representation of an interval to me...
