It's worth noting that this is local time, not UTC/GMT - gmgetdate doesn't exist :(.
The most logical way to handle date arithmetic without hitting DST problems is to work in UTC...
<?php
function add_days($my_date,$numdays) {
$date_t = strtotime($my_date.' UTC');
return gmdate('Y-m-d',$date_t + ($numdays*86400));
}
?>
[it's even faster if you use gmmktime instead of strtotime]
