How can PHP developers effectively manage and restrict access to their website content?

To effectively manage and restrict access to website content, PHP developers can use session management and authentication mechanisms. By implementing user authentication and authorization, developers can control which users have access to specific content on the website. This can be achieved by checking user credentials, roles, and permissions before allowing access to restricted content. 

<?php
session_start();

// Check if user is logged in
if(!isset($_SESSION['loggedin'])) {
    header('Location: login.php');
    exit;
}

// Check user role for access to specific content
if($_SESSION['role'] !== 'admin') {
    echo "You do not have permission to access this content.";
    exit;
}

// Display restricted content here
echo "Welcome, Admin! Here is the restricted content.";
?>
