Не удается проверить так как не задан исполняемый PHP-файл
При сохранении php-файла в Visual Studio Code может возникнуть следующая проблема у новичков и не только.
Не удается проверить, так как не задан исполняемый PHP-файл. Используйте параметр php.validate.executablePath, чтобы настроить исполняемый PHP-файл.

Эта ошибка сообщает о том, что VS Code не может проверить php-файл на ошибки, т.к. не находит исполняемый файл php. Следовательно, нам нужно указать путь до исполняемого файла.
Раз уж вы открыли php-файл, следовательно, вероятнее всего вы используете какой-то локальный сервер. От того какой, будет зависеть путь до исполняемого файла.
Я использую Open Server, в моём случае путь будет следующим:
У вас путь возможно будет другим, зависит от того какой локальный сервер вы используете и какую версию php вы выбираете.
Теперь нам нужно указать в Visual Studio Code данный путь до файла php.exe .

Или используя горячие клавиши: CTRL + ,
Находим через поиск параметр:
Нажимаем карандаш чтобы изменить настройку.

Вводите свой путь до файла php.exe .

PHP Validate ExecutablePath in VSCode

This tutorial demonstrates how to validate the PHP executable path in VSCode.
PHP Validate ExecutablePath in VSCode
When working with PHP in VSCode, the following error commonly occurs:
It is because the PHP executable path is not set in the VSCode. Validating the executable path is a simple operation and can be done by following the instructions below:
Open settings.json of your VSCode. Add the following line with your php.exe path at the end of the settings.json .
In the case of using XAMPP, the PHP path will be:
Save the settings.json and exit. It will solve the problem. If you cannot find the settings.json , you can also do it from the VSCode.
Open VSCode and Go to the File -> Preferences -> Settings .
Open the Settings ; it will open the User Settings tab.
On the right side of the User Settings page, you will find Place your settings here to overwrite the Default Settings .
Under that option, paste the following code with your PHP path:
Done with all the above steps? Save it, and you are ready to work.

PHP in Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio Code is a great editor for PHP development. You get features like syntax highlighting and bracket matching, IntelliSense (code completion), and snippets out of the box and you can add more functionality through community-created VS Code extensions.
Linting
VS Code uses the official PHP linter ( php -l ) for PHP language diagnostics. This allows VS Code to stay current with PHP linter improvements.
Tip: Using XAMPP? Install the full version of PHP in order to obtain the development libraries.
There are three settings to control the PHP linter:
- php.validate.enable : controls whether to enable PHP linting at all. Enabled by default.
- php.validate.executablePath : points to the PHP executable on disk. Set this if the PHP executable is not on the system path.
- php.validate.run : controls whether the validation is triggered on save (value: "onSave" ) or on type (value: "onType" ). Default is on save.
To change the PHP settings, open your User or Workspace Settings ( ⌘, (Windows, Linux Ctrl+, ) ) and type ‘php’ to filter the list of available settings.

To set the PHP executable path, select the Edit in settings.json link under PHP > Validate: Executable Path, which will open your user settings.json file. Add the php.validate.executablePath setting with the path to your PHP installation:
Windows
Linux and macOS
Snippets
Visual Studio Code includes a set of common snippets for PHP. To access these, hit ⌃Space (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Space ) to get a context-specific list.

PHP extensions
There are many PHP language extensions available on the VS Code Marketplace and more are being created. You can search for PHP extensions from within VS Code in the Extensions view ( ⇧⌘X (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+X ) ) then filter the extensions dropdown list by typing ‘php’.

Disable built-in PHP support
To disable the built-in PHP smart completions in favor of suggestions from an installed PHP extension, uncheck PHP > Suggest: Basic, which sets php.suggest.basic to false in your settings.json file.
Debugging
PHP debugging with XDebug is supported through a PHP Debug extension. Follow the extension’s instructions for configuring XDebug to work with VS Code.
