Return the Linux Timestamp for a given date and time

$hour: Hour 0-23

$minute: Minutes 0-59

$second: Seconds 0-59

$month: Month 0-11

$day: Day 1-31 (depending on the month)

$year: Year, four digit representation

Integer: Seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00, local Wattmon time

Unlike mainline PHP, in uPHP “Linux Timestamps” are based upon the Wattmon's local time, not UTC/GMT.

Technically, the Unix Epoch is defined as being January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT. But on the Wattmon, timestamps are relative to January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 local timezone.

If the Wattmon clock and timezone are set to UTC+00 (GMT) then the uPHP timestamp is the same as mainline PHP, otherwise not.

In uPHP on the Wattmon this simplification is referred to as a “Linux Timestamp” but it should be noted that it may not be exactly the same, depending on the Wattmon's timezone settings.

In other words: Wattmon “Linux Timestamps” are based upon local Wattmon time and are not adjusted by the timezone setting in Control Panel > Time Settings (Time and Date Settings) > UTC Offset. (These settings are stored in /config/time.ini.)

This differs from the traditional PHP implementation in that the month variable is 0-11 rather than 1-12. This was due to an early implementation error which we are unable to modify now since too many devices use the code.
