You can convert the times into number of minutes since the start of the day which will make the comparison easier.

07:00 = 07 * 60 + 00 = 420 call this $Start

and 

07:25 = 07 * 60 + 25 = 445 call this $End

Similarly convert your user input hh:mm to min as above and call them $userStart and $userEnd. Now all you need to do is:

if($userStart >= $Start && $userEnd <= $End) {
  // valid
}
