Let me start this with two caveats; 1) I stole/used @KennyStier's script above, who based it on @artlov's . 2) I am not a designer and this doesn't look fancy at all. But, so far it is working and is easier than using a script for those who prefer the visual aspect.

Below are the two main files;

index.html: (camera names & descriptions need to be updated)

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
	<title>Frigate Export</title>
	<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
	<style>
		.ui-datepicker {
			font-size: 0.8em;
		}
	</style>
</head>
<body>
	<form method="post" action="frigate-export.php">
		<label for="camera">Choose your camera:</label>
		<select name="camera" id="camera">
        <option value="camera1">Camera 1</option>
        <option value="camera2">Camera 2</option>
        <option value="camera3">Camera 3</option>
        <option value="camera4">Camera 4</option>
        <option value="camera5">Camera 5</option>
        <option value="camera6">Camera 6</option>
        <option value="camera7">Camera 7</option>
		</select>
		<br>
		<label for="start">Start date and time:</label>
		<input type="text" name="start" id="start" placeholder="Jan 1, 2023 16:20:00">
		<br>
		<label for="end">End date and time:</label>
		<input type="text" name="end" id="end" placeholder="Jan 1, 2023 18:30:00">
		<br>
		<button type="submit">Export</button>
	</form>
	<?php if (!empty($filename)): ?>
		<p>Generated file: <?php echo $filename; ?></p>
	<?php endif; ?>

			$("#start, #end").datetimepicker({
				dateFormat: "M d, yy",
				timeFormat: "HH:mm:ss",
				showAnim: "slideDown",
				changeYear: true,
				yearRange: "-100:+0",
			});
		});
	</script>
</body>
</html>

frigate-export.php: (server IP/port need to be updated)

<?php
$url = 'http://192.168.1.10:5000';
$outdir = './archive';
$filename = '';

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST') {
    $camera = $_POST['camera'];
    $startstring = $_POST['start'];
    $endstring = $_POST['end'];

    if (!empty($camera) && !empty($startstring) && !empty($endstring)) {
        $start = strtotime($startstring);
        $end = strtotime($endstring);
        $startname = date('Y-m-d_H-i-s', $start);

        $command = "ffmpeg -y -i {$url}/vod/{$camera}/start/{$start}/end/{$end}/index.m3u8 -c copy {$outdir}/{$camera}-{$startname}.mp4";

        exec($command, $output, $return_var);

        if ($return_var === 0) {
            $filename = "{$camera}-{$startname}.mp4";
            $filepath = $outdir . '/' . $filename;
            echo 'Export completed successfully. File: <a href="' . $filepath . '" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">' . $filename . '</a>';
        } else {
            echo 'Export failed.';
        }
    }
}
?>

Notes; I am running nginx in docker. The index.html & frigate-export.php files are in one of the web hosting files, I created a sub-folder called archive. This folder is where all the exported clips go into. You need to have ffmpeg installed and I also have the two attached files daterangepicker.css & daterangepicker.js due to the visual date selection.

Hopefully this makes sense and may be helpful for someone else...
