Understanding traits in PHP

Traits in PHP are used for code re-use. Since PHP supports single inheritance, we cannot use methods from multiple classes directly in a single class.
Traits allow us to inject multiple methods in a single class which can be accessed directly by the object of injected class.

A Trait is similar to a class but cannot be instantiated. The syntax of a trait is:

trait TraitName{
   function fun1(){
     ...
   }

   fucntion fun2(){
     ...
   }
}

class SomeClass{
   use TraitName;
}

Here is an example:

<?php
trait Car{
   function wheels(){
     echo "4 wheels";
   }
}

trait Petrol{
   function fuelType(){
     echo "Petrol";
   }
}

class Alto{
   use Car, Petrol;
 
   function cost(){
     echo "3 lakhs";
   }
}

$alto = new Alto();

$alto->cost();
echo "<br/>";
$alto->fuelType();
echo "<br/>";
$alto->wheels();
