Replace first path of URL with new variable in PHP
0
Is it possible to, for example, take this URL:
https://www.example.com/en/blah/blah
But replace "en" with a passed variable?
The PHP I have: (below returns URL little like above)
'href' => $this->url->link($route, $url)
I have the new language variable available with
$result['url_code']
But not had any luck with replacing the returned link with replacing the first url section with the result variable.
The initial returned URL with the /*/ first part of the url path will change depending on language so need to replace anything in that first part with the variable $result['url_code']
Any ideas?

You may want to look at parse_url() to deconstruct the value that you have, and then rebuild it. This is certainly more verbose than it needs to be, but it does the job reliably and will not break on edge cases.
<?php
$url = $this->url->link($route, $url);
$url_parts = parse_url($url);
$path_parts = explode("/", $url_parts["path"]);
// there's a leading slash, so [0] is an empty string
$path_parts[1] = $result['url_code'];
$path = implode("/", $path_parts);
$new_url = "$url_parts[scheme]://$url_parts[host]$path";
if (!empty($url_parts["query"])) {
$new_url .= "?$url_parts[query]";
}
