Array {
[0] => http://example1.com/video/ghgh23;
[1] => http://example2.com/file/mwerq2;
}
I want to replace the content between /sometext/ from the above array. Like I want to replace video, file with abc.

You don't need to loop over every element of the array, str_replace can take an array to replace with:
$myArray = str_replace(array('/video/', '/file/'), '/abc/', $myArray);
However, based on your question, you might want to replace the first path segment, and not a specific index. So to do that:
$myArray = preg_replace('((?<!/)/([^/]+)/)', '/abc/', $myArray);
That will replace the first path element of every URL in $myArray with /abc/...

Either str_replace as other comments suggested or using a regular expression especially if you might have a longer url with more segments like http://example.com/xxx/somestuff/morestuff
In that case str_replace will not be enough you will need preg_replace

This is another option. Supply a array, foreach will pick it up and then the first parameter of str_replace can be a array if needed. Hope you find this helpful.
<?php
$array = array('http://abc.com/video/ghgh23','http://smtech.com/file/mwerq2');
$newarray = array();
foreach($array as $url) {
$newarray[] = str_replace(array('video','file'),'abc',$url);
}
print_r($newarray);
?>

//every element in $myArray
for($i=0; $i < count($myArray); $i++){
$myArray[$i] = str_replace('/video/','/abc/',$myArray[$i]);
}

$array = array('http://abc.com/video/ghgh23', 'http://smtech.com/file/mwerq2');
foreach ($array as &$string)
{
$string = str_replace('video', 'abc', $string);
$string = str_replace('file', 'abc', $string);
}
