How can PHP developers effectively manage user roles and permissions in a dynamic web application environment?

Managing user roles and permissions in a dynamic web application environment involves creating a system where users are assigned specific roles (such as admin, editor, viewer) and permissions (such as read, write, delete) based on their role. This can be achieved by storing role and permission information in a database and checking user roles and permissions before allowing them to perform certain actions on the website. 

// Check user role and permissions before allowing access to certain actions
function checkPermission($user_role, $required_permission) {
    // Retrieve user's permissions from database based on role
    // Check if user has the required permission to perform the action
    if (/* user has required permission */) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

// Example usage
$user_role = "admin";
$required_permission = "write";
if (checkPermission($user_role, $required_permission)) {
    // Allow user to perform write action
    echo "User has permission to write.";
} else {
    // Deny access
    echo "User does not have permission to write.";
}
