php replace first occurrence of string from 0th position [duplicate]

Answer 1

I ran to this issue and wanted a solution and this wasn't 100% right for me because if the string was like $str = "mine'this , the appostrophe would cause a problem. so I came up with a litle trick :

$stick='';
$cook = explode($str,$cookie,2);
        foreach($cook as $c){
            if(preg_match("/^'/", $c)||preg_match('/^"/', $c)){
                //we have 's dsf fds... so we need to find the first |sess| because it is the delimiter'
                $stick = '|sess|'.explode('|sess|',$c,2)[1];
            }else{
                $stick = $c;
            }
            $cookies.=$stick;
        }
