Explanation:
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = πr²h, where r is the radius of the circular base and h is the height of the cylinder.
In the above code, we have defined the radius and height of the cylinder as variables $radius and $height, respectively.
We have then used the pow() function to calculate the square of the radius ($radius^2).
We have used the pi() function to retrieve the value of the mathematical constant π in PHP.
Finally, we have calculated the volume of the cylinder using the formula and printed the result using the echo statement.
