Cara menggunakan php.validate.executablepath vscode

Pesan ini muncul karena VS Code berusaha untuk melakukan validasi code dengan PHP, tapi tidak dapat menemukan instalasi PHP pada system.

Untuk mengatasi masalah ini cukup sederhana, yaitu tinggal klik tombol Open Setting pada dialog yang mucul lalu edit settings.json, dan akan terbuka tab seperti gambar berikut:

php.validate.executablePath kita isi dengan path dimana lokasi php.exe berada. Sebagai contoh, apabila kita menggunakan XAMPP maka php.exe secara default berada di C:\xampp\php. Kemudian tambahkan php.exe menjadi C:\xampp\php\php.exe.

Apabila muncul warning seperti gambar di atas, maka ganti backslash menjadi double backslashes, sehingga menjadi C:\\xampp\\php\\php.exe.

Setelah selesai edit, jangan lupa save.

Settings file locations

Berikut ini adalah lokasi tempat settings file berada:

• Windows
  %APPDATA%\Code\User\settings.json
• macOS
  $HOME/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json
• Linux
  $HOME/.config/Code/User/settings.json

Settings untuk workspace dapat ditemukan di dalam folder .vscode pada root folder workspace.

Cara lain untuk membuka settings.json adalah melalui Command Palette dengan shortcut Ctrl+Shift+P atau melalui menu View > Command Palette, lalu ketik settings.json

[XDebug]
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_autostart = 1
zend_extension = "you_unit:\xampp\php\ext\downloadedfile.dss

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.

Here is a screenshot.

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

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

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

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

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:

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.

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"
}

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

try this;

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

answered Sep 29, 2019 at 12:11

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.

Unix / Linux / Mac / WSL ,

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",

Download PHP, in my case, I downloaded from here: //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"

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

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.

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 \

I simply used double forward slashes and it worked, like so:

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

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"

"php.validate.executablePath": "C:\xamp\php\php.exe" this is working for this case

IF using Laragon...Dont forget to change \ to /

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

• 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.

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

For Wampserver:

Inside settings.json

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

answered Sep 1 at 11:02

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: //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.

answered Sep 7 at 17:30

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.
