explode() it, perform the calculation, and then implode() it. That's
what I would do, anyhow.

// configuration
$date = '01/01/2006';
$offset = '-10';
$date_glue = '/';

// implementation
$temp = explode($date_glue, $date);
$temp[2] = $temp[2] + $offset;
$date = implode ($date_glue, $date);
echo $date;
