php - Insert value to URL path -

i have site content different market locations, setting cookie users location. if user tries going landing page directly insert market location url.

for example, if user tries going www.mysite.com/packages update url www.mysite.com/tampa/packages

i have cookie set called "market", , code trying, isn't working.

<?php switch ($_cookie['market']) {    case "tampa":     $url = $_server['request_uri'];     switch (true) {        case strstr($url, 'packages'):         $currenturl = str_replace('/packages','/tampa/packages/',$url);         return $currenturl;         break;     }     break;    // etc other markets } 

is php right approach this? there better solution work? thank in advance help.

you need use header() function reload webpage new url so:

instead of:

return $currenturl; 

do:

header('location: '.$currenturl); 

be sure there's no output browser before doing though.
