VSCode：找不到PHP可执行文件。 安装PHP 7并将其添加到您的PATH或设置php.executablePath设置

Question

friends! I'm getting this error (see title) after the attempt to install PHP IntelliSense v2.3.10 for VS Code editor v1.37.1. I don't have PHP installed. I use the Open Server v5.3.0 Ultimate with activated PHP7.1-x64 support.

This here does not look exactly like my case. PHP executable not found. Install PHP 7 and add it to your PATH or set the php.executablePath setting

And I cannot see the window where to put in the 2 lines mentioned in the PHP executable not found. Install PHP 7 and add it to your PATH or set the php.executablePath setting .

Please tell me what to do.

Answer 1

It's easy to fix. First you need to find where your php executable file is located, it's called php.exe

For example I'm using laragon : E:/laragon/bin/php/php-7.2.19-Win32-VC15-x64/php.exe

So all what you need is find this location and then go to file=>preferences=>settings and search for settings.json then open it and add this line

"php.validate.executablePath": "your php .exe path" and of course you need to add this line carefuly and respect json format rules
