Question : Adding searchable opening times on e-directory

Hey
Hope all is well.
I have another e-directory problem.

I need to add an option for the client to add their opening times for each day, from their account, which can be searched by the frontend user.

So I'm guessing the best way to go about it is in the backend have the 7 days listed with a list of 3 times where the user can put in opeing times.

So like:
 Monday:    8:00 - 12:00
                 13:00 - 17:00
                 18:00 - 22:00

I think the best optionfor that would be drop down menus for each time.

Then on the front end have drop down menus for each option so drop down for days then open and close.

I am not sure how to go about doing this.
I'm open to suggestions about how to lay it out and work.

I'm not sure which files I need to edit or how to get it to write to the table to make it searchable from the front end.

I went into the phpadmin and I've attached the exports from the database tables.

This is a link to the front of the site http://whatsopenuk.com/ .

Any help or suggestions would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Answer : Adding searchable opening times on e-directory

Based on that question, I think you might want to hire a developer.  What you're describing is not "hard" or anything - it's just a lot of application design and data base normalization work.  If you're relatively new to PHP and MySQL, this book might be helpful.
