PHP: Replace first part of an url

I would like to change the first part of my url.

I have this url 

www.website.com/download/long-file-name-123

I would like to change the "download" part to "downloads" like this.

www.website.com/downloads/long-file-name-123

The problem is that the url can also look like this:

www.website.com/download/files/file/long-file-name-123

So i need some way to always only change the first part of the url,

<?php
echo str_replace("download","downloads","www.website.com/download/long-file-name-123");
?>

For First occurrence of download

<?php
$urls = array("www.website.com/download/long-file-name-123","www.website.com/download/files/file/long-file-name-123");
$arrlength = count($urls);
for($x = 0; $x < $arrlength; $x++)
{
    $pos = strpos($urls[$x], "download");
    if ($pos !== false) {
        $newstring = substr_replace($urls[$x], "downloads", $pos, strlen("download"));
        echo ($newstring);
        echo ("\n");
    }
}
?>

Output:

www.website.com/downloads/long-file-name-123
www.website.com/downloads/files/file/long-file-name-123
