The server-side (e.g., CGI, PHP) program that processes the form data needs to reject form submissions between 5pm Saturday and 7am the following Thursday.

You could also use a server-side program to generate the form itself, and send an actual form only between 7am Thursday and 5pm the following Saturday.

Sorry I should have explained that my knowledge of server side programming is basic. Any advice on how I could do this?

What kind of server-side programming can you use on your server? See also:
