Getting the square root of a number in PHP is pretty simple. The built-in sqrt() function can be used to compute the square root of a number.
Syntax:
sqrt(number)
Here's an example:
$number = 9;
$squareRoot = sqrt($number);
echo "The square root of {$number} is {$squareRoot}.";
Output:
The square root of 9 is 3.
You can also use the sqrt() function in mathematical expressions:
$a = 25;
$b = 16;
$c = sqrt($a) + sqrt($b);
echo "The result is: {$c}";
Output:
The result is: 9
