Answer 1

For PHP >= 5.2.0, I would do something like this:

$time_array = array('0' => '11:00:00',
                    '1' => '12:00:00',
                    '2' => '13:00:00',
                    '3' => '14:00:00',
                    '4' => '15:00:00',
                    '5' => '16:00:00');

echo "\nBefore:\n";
print_r($time_array);

$start = new DateTime('12:30:00');
$end   = new DateTime('14:00:00');

// Magic starts here
foreach ($time_array as $key => $value) {
  $datetime = new DateTime($value);
  if ($datetime >= $start and $datetime <= $end)
    unset($time_array[$key]);
}
// Magic finished

echo "\nAfter:\n";
print_r($time_array);

Yes, it works.
