* The Unix epoch is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT), not counting leap seconds (in ISO 8601: 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z).
* Literally speaking, the epoch is Unix timestamp 0 (midnight 1-1-1970).
* Many Unix systems store epoch date as a signed 32-bit integer which may cause problems on January 19, 2038 (known as the Year 2038 problem or Y2038).
* Simple and reliable PHP conversion tool to get current time.
