How can a PHP developer implement a multi-role system with different levels of access for users, editors, and admins?

To implement a multi-role system with different levels of access for users, editors, and admins, a PHP developer can create a role-based access control system where each user is assigned a specific role that determines their level of access to certain features or functionalities on the website. 

// Example code snippet for implementing a multi-role system in PHP

// Define roles
define('ROLE_USER', 1);
define('ROLE_EDITOR', 2);
define('ROLE_ADMIN', 3);

// Check user role and restrict access based on role
function checkAccess($requiredRole) {
    $currentUserRole = getUserRole(); // Function to get current user's role
    if ($currentUserRole < $requiredRole) {
        // Redirect user to a restricted access page
        header("Location: restricted.php");
        exit();
    }
}

// Example usage
checkAccess(ROLE_ADMIN); // Check if user has admin role before allowing access to admin features
