Junior PHP
Quick Answer Traits enable code reuse in PHP single-inheritance. A trait defines methods that can be mixed into any class. A class can use multiple traits. Unlike interfaces, traits provide actual implementations. Use traits for shared behaviors like logging, timestamps, or soft-delete across unrelated classes.
