Swapping two parts of a line of a string

    I have a list like this stored in a single string:

    x|y
    x|y
    x|y
    x|y

    What I want PHP to do is swap the x and y over in each line so it'd look like this:

    y|x
    y|x
    y|x
    y|x

    Any ideas?

<?php

$string  = "x|y";
$parts = explode("|", $string);
echo $parts[1],"|",$parts[0]; // out-put y|x

 ?>
