如何在 docker 容器中设置 php 时在 vscode 中设置 php 可执行路径 php.validate.executablePath？

Question

I have a development environment based in docker.

Everytime that I open VSCode I get this message:

Cannot validate since no PHP executable is set. Use the setting 'php.validate.executablePath' to configure the PHP executable.

Somebody know how to set php.validate.executablePath in this case?

I have no idea how to do it.

Answer 1

Here is a screenshot.

• Don't forget to escape \
• You don't have to add it to the Path

Answer 2

For linux users: if you don't have PHP installed then first download,
then in terminal type

$ whereis php

and it will show path for php executable (It will be either in /usr/bin/php or usr/local/bin/php ) which you can copy from terminal.

In VScode goto settings.json file and paste

php.validate.executablePath: /usr/bin/php

Answer 3

In my case using XAMPP is like this

"php.validate.executablePath": "C:/xampp/php/php.exe"

hope that answer your question

Answer 4

Sure, easy. Just follow what it's says.

Go to File> Preferences > Settings ... it will open the settings.json file.

add the following code:

{"php.validate.executablePath": "Here you put your PHP.exe path"}

You have to know where te PHP.exe file is in your computer, search in the php>bin folder.

Hope it works for you

Answer 5

I had the same problem but found the fix here .

In Windows:

1. Go To System Properties
2. Go To Advanced Tab
3. Click "Environment Variables"
4. Select Path
5. Add a new path that points to your php 7 executable:

Answer 6

My case, I'm using Laragon, so you should search where is your php.exe .

By VSCode just add.

"php.executablePath": "C:\\laragon\\bin\\php\\php-7.2.19-Win32-VC15-x64\\php.exe"

on settings.json .

Answer 7

VSCode Linux Users:

Step 1: In your terminal type

whereis php

In my case "php: /opt/lampp/bin/php"

Step 2:

{
  "php.validate.executablePath": "/opt/lampp/bin/php"
}

Answer 8

I have ubuntu and XAMPP. The following worked for me.

Press CTRL + P Type settings.json and hit ENTER.

Add the following line in settings.json

{
...
"php.validate.executablePath": "/opt/lampp/bin/php",
...
}

Make sure to proper syntax.

Answer 9

Download PHP, in my case, I downloaded from here: http://windows.php.net/download/

Copy and paste the files to a location on your computer, and set the path:

"php.validate.executablePath": "C:/php/php.exe"

Answer 10

"php.validate.executablePath": "C:/php/php.exe" wont work due to incorect escaping

try this;

"php.validate.executablePath": "C:\\php\\php.exe"

Answer 11

If you get this on windows in VS code click on the blue 'open settings' button. Near the bottom of the screen this opens there's a link to enter the settings, click this to open the settings.json file. Edit the file to look like this:

{
    "php.executablePath" : "C:/php-7.4.2-nts-Win32-vc15-x64/php.exe",
    "php.validate.executablePath" : "C:/php-7.4.2-nts-Win32-vc15-x64/php.exe"
}

where C:/php-7.4.2-nts-Win32-vc15-x64 is the path to your PHP dir

Answer 12

我只是使用了双正斜杠，它就起作用了，如下所示：

"php.validate.executablePath": "C:\\xampp\\php\\php.exe",

Answer 13

I don't know if this helps but I ran into the same problem with the extension PHP Intelephense in Visual Studio Code. What I did is read the instructions so the extension could work properly. So I disabled PHP Language Features by searching "@builtin PHP" in the extensions. Also, other (3rd party) PHP extensions that provide similar functionality should also be disabled for best results. Finally, I added glob patterns for non-standard PHP file extensions to the files.associations setting. For example: "files.associations": { "*.module": "PHP" }

Doing this made the error go away. I'm new to PHP too, let me know if this is the correct way of solving this problem with PHP Intelephense.

Answer 14

If you're using VScode and have installed Php through MAMP, the default path should be:

C:/MAMP/bin/php/php7.4.1/php.exe

/ not \

Answer 15

Regarding the docker-specific revision of the question, I found this thread in the VS Code PHP Intellisense git repo issue that explains how to create a wrapper script. It will involve mapping volumes, though, so take that into account.

Answer 16

I also had this error. I have installed Laragon and this addition in setting.json worked for me.

"php.executablePath":"C:/laragon/bin/php/php-7.2.19-Win32-VC15-x64/php.exe"

Answer 17

如果使用 Laragon...不要忘记将 \ 更改为 /

  "php.executablePath": "C:/laragon/bin/php/php-7.4.5-Win32-vc15-x64/php.exe",

Answer 18

• Go to 'Preference' -> 'Settings'
• Search for> php path
• Then click Edit in settings.json
• Then just put your directory with (DOUBLE Backslash).

Here is an example of mine:

C:\\php\\php.exe

Here is the format:

drive:\\folder_name\\php.exe

This should fix the problem.

Answer 19

php.validate.executablePath in laragon

In my case using laragon is like this

  "php.validate.executablePath": "C:\\laragon\\bin\\php\\php-7.4.19-Win32-vc15-x64\\php.exe"

• php-7.4.19-Win32-vc15-x64 : Note that this part of your file name may be different

Step 1 : Find PHP path

whereis php

Response will show you where your php directories are.

user@User:~$ whereis php

php: /usr/bin/php /usr/bin/php8.0 /usr/bin/php8.1 /usr/lib/php /etc/php /usr/share/php8.0-opcache 
/usr/share/php8.0-xml /usr/share/php8.1-curl /usr/share/php8.1-opcache /usr/share/php8.0-gd 
/usr/share/php7.0-gd /usr/share/php7.0-common /usr/share/php8.0-readline /usr/share/php8.0-mysql 
/usr/share/php8.0-zip /usr/share/php8.1-mbstring /usr/share/php8.1-xml /usr/share/php8.0-mbstring 
/usr/share/php8.0-common /usr/share/php8.0-curl /usr/share/php8.1-readline /usr/share/php8.1-common 
/usr/share/man/man1/php.1.gz

Step 2 : Configure VS-Code

Go to -> "Preference -> Settings"
Search for -> "php path"
Then click -> "Edit in settings.json"

---

In my case I had multiple.
So I chose the one I wanted from the available versions and my VS-Code looked like this

---

"php.validate.executablePath": "/usr/bin/php8.1",

Answer 21

"php.validate.executablePath": "C:\xamp\php\php.exe" 这适用于这种情况

Answer 22

For Wampserver:

Inside settings.json

"php.validate.executablePath": "C:/wamp64/bin/php/php7.4.26/php.exe"

Answer 23

If php is inside a docker container and you don't need it or don't want to install it on you local system, you can create a php wrapper script like it is suggested here: https://github.com/felixfbecker/vscode-php-intellisense/issues/471

I prefer to use the remote container Microsoft extension on vscode and work inside the container itself.

Answer 24

I've used such solution:

First, create a php file inside /usr/local/bin/ and make it executable:

sudo touch /usr/local/bin/php
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/php

Update content of it with:

docker exec $(docker ps --filter name=-app --format '{{.ID}}') php "$@"

So this will find a container with the name -app at the end. I'm using it along with the docker compose where I have php inside some container which has -app at the end of the name. You can check more about filter here .

And then update php.validate.executablePath with /usr/local/bin/php :

{
    "php.validate.executablePath": "/usr/local/bin/php"
}

Answer 25

I also got this error message. The path to php.exe was already set in my System Environment Variables.

The error went away when I commented out "php.validate.executablePath": "c:/path/to/php7.2.10/php.exe" , in the settings.json file in VSCode.
