For example, a field consists of two data, base level and job level, and are split with a delimiter.

Field Name: ‘baselvl:joblvl’
Example Data: ’70:30′ => the entry signifies base level of 70 and a job level of 30

I’m trying to include a search in a PHP website to grab data that fulfills certain conditions. For example, grabbing data that has a base level of 70 or higher. Or, say, a base level greater than 50 AND a job level less than or equal to 30.

Updated:
I forgot to mention that they designed this field such that the joblvl part is optional.

    try this:

    I think you are using mysql. Use the following query to split the column..

    set @field='70:30';
select substr(@field,1,LOCATE(':',@field)-1) as baselvl,
substr(@field,LOCATE(':',@field)+1,length(@field)-LOCATE(':',@field)) as oblvl

    Please note that, the best way is to store both the values in separate columns, other wise you in run into lot of problems like this in future
