XAMPP； PHP 在非管理员用户的控制台中不可用

Question

I'm using Windows 10. I've installed XAMPP in C:\xampp and added an environmental Path variable C:\xampp\php.

However, the problem is, PHP isn't available to users other than admin.

What can I do to make that pre-installed PHP available to all users?

If it's too much of a hassle, is there any way to allow VSC to use that pre-installed PHP? I've changed File>Preferences>Extensions>PHP>PHP›'Validate: Executable Path' to:

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

but it's still not working. I've tried to set php.executablePath, but it's greyed out.

Answer 1

If you want PHP executables to available for all your users you need to set the PATH in SYSTEM VARIABLES.

Please check by going to the system properties screen (Win+Pause/Break) and then Select Advanced System Settings -> Advanced

And add your path C:\Xampp\php\ to the path list as shown in this picture.
