How can the issue of the script treating the date as a string instead of a DateTime object be resolved?

The issue of the script treating the date as a string instead of a DateTime object can be resolved by converting the date string into a DateTime object using the DateTime constructor in PHP. This allows for proper manipulation and formatting of the date. 

$dateString = "2022-12-31";
$dateObject = new DateTime($dateString);
echo $dateObject->format('Y-m-d'); // Output: 2022-12-31
