Change position of strings separated by character using php

I have a string 18-04, I want to make it 04-18. I have tried doing this : 

$myStr = "18-04";
$first = substr($myStr, 0, 1);
$second = substr($myStr, 3, 4);

$final = $second . '-' . $first;

But I was looking for a simpler way rather than writing 5 full lines to do something simple. Any idea?

Use regex in preg_replace() to do this work.

$final = preg_replace("/(\d+)-(\d+)/", "$2-$1", $myStr);

Check result in demo

Is it shorter ? :)

echo implode('-',array_reverse(explode('-',$myStr)));

you can use the following:

$myStr = "18-04";
$chuncks = explode("-",$myStr);
$final = $chuncks[1]. '-' . $chuncks[0];
