What are the rules for the split, number of characters, the semi colon?

If it's the semi colon take a look at explode

Expanding on Sarahk's response:

$input = 'Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss';
list($category,$subcategory) = explode(':',$input);
/*
results:
echo $input => Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss
echo $category=> Health-and-Fitness
echo $subcategory=> Weight-Loss
*/
