Description:
------------
I want to add and sub some minutes fram a date. I use the dateInterval for the calculation.

It seems to work with lower numbers of minutes. I have not tested it systemattically.

If I üpersonally use PHP 7.4 in my local development (ddev/docker). But I Can repoduce the bug online https://sandbox.onlinephpfunctions.com/ with various php-versions. 8.0.0, 7.4.13, 7.3.25, 7.2.31, 7.1.33, 7.0.14 and 5.6.29.



Test script:
---------------
<?php
        //Enter your code here, enjoy!

$expectEaster = date_create_from_format('Y-m-d H:i:s', '2020-04-12 12:00:00', new DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin'));
$interval = new DateInterval('PT20800M');
$expectEaster->sub($interval);
$expectEaster->add($interval);
echo('easter '.$expectEaster->format('Y-m-d H:i:s')."\n" );

$expectEaster = date_create_from_format('Y-m-d H:i:s', '2020-04-12 12:00:00', new DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin'));
$interval = new DateInterval('PT20715M');
$expectEaster->sub($interval);
$expectEaster->add($interval);
echo('easter '.$expectEaster->format('Y-m-d H:i:s')."\n");

$expectEaster = date_create_from_format('Y-m-d H:i:s', '2020-04-12 12:00:00', new DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin'));
$interval = new DateInterval('PT20700M');
$expectEaster->sub($interval);
$expectEaster->add($interval);
echo('easter '.$expectEaster->format('Y-m-d H:i:s')."\n");

// Result
// easter 2020-04-12 11:00:00
// easter 2020-04-12 13:00:00
// easter 2020-04-12 12:00:00

Expected result:
----------------
easter 2020-04-12 12:00:00

Actual result:
--------------
'PT20800M': easter 2020-04-12 11:00:00
'PT20715M': easter 2020-04-12 13:00:00
'PT20700M': easter 2020-04-12 12:00:00

It seems not to be a bug. I ignored the problem of summertime, which is not really good described in the documentation.

$expectEaster = date_create_from_format('Y-m-d H:i:s', '2020-04-12 12:00:00', new DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin'));
$interval = new DateInterval('PT20761M');
$expectEaster->sub($interval);
echo('recalc '.$expectEaster->format('Y-m-d H:i:s')."\n");
$expectEaster->add($interval);
echo('easter '.$expectEaster->format('Y-m-d H:i:s')."\n" );

$expectEaster = date_create_from_format('Y-m-d H:i:s', '2020-04-12 12:00:00', new DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin'));
$interval = new DateInterval('PT20760M');
$expectEaster->sub($interval);
echo('recalc '.$expectEaster->format('Y-m-d H:i:s')."\n");
$expectEaster->add($interval);
echo('easter '.$expectEaster->format('Y-m-d H:i:s')."\n");


$expectEaster = date_create_from_format('Y-m-d H:i:s', '2020-04-12 12:00:00', new DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin'));

$expectEaster->sub($interval);
echo('recalc '.$expectEaster->format('Y-m-d H:i:s')."\n");
$expectEaster->add($interval);

Pretty sure there is a bug here regarding gaining/losing an hour across DST transitions, but I'm also pretty sure it's a duplicate of one already reported somewhere in this system.

Note:
- Summer DST for Europe/Berlin began 2020-03-29 02:00:00 (DST=0) -> 03:00:00 (DST=1)
- 2020-04-12 12:00:00 (DST=1) - 20760m (14d10h) = 2020-03-29 02:00:00 (DST=1) -> 01:00:00 (DST=0)
- 2020-04-12 12:00:00 (DST=1) - 20700m (14d9h) = 2020-03-29 03:00:00 (DST=1)

For the first pairs of outputs using 20761/20760m,

// recalc 2020-03-29 00:59:00 - correct
// easter 2020-04-12 11:00:00 - incorrect, should be 12:00
// recalc 2020-03-29 03:00:00 - incorrect, should be 01:00
// easter 2020-04-12 13:00:00 - correct according to the recalc value

For the second pair using 20701/20700m,

// recalc 2020-03-29 03:59:00 - incorrect, should be 01:59:00 (no DST)
// easter 2020-04-12 13:00:00 - correct according to the recalc value
// recalc 2020-03-29 03:00:00 - correct
// easter 2020-04-12 12:00:00 - correct
