`DateTime` `date_sub` `DateTime` `object` `DateInterval` `interval`

Modifies the specified DateTime object, by subtracting the specified `DateInterval` object.

Like `DateTimeImmutable::sub` but works with `DateTime`.

The procedural version takes the `DateTime` object as its first argument.

- A `DateInterval` object

&reftitle.returnvalues;

&reftitle.changelog;

&Version; | &Description;
8.3.0 | Now throws a DateInvalidOperationException with `DateTime::sub`, instead of a warning when an unsupported operation is attempted. `date_sub` has not been changed.
