Extension fails to load PHP executable from PATH

[christi-square]

When I open VSCode, this extension fails to load even though I have the PHP executable in my path. As a workaround, I can get the extension to load by setting "php.executablePath": "/usr/local/bin/php". It looks like the path is not being respected. Maybe this has something to do with the recent change to switch the default shell to zsh.

$ php -v

Hello

I've the same issue (exactly the same popup as yours) but ... on my side, I wish to be able to specify that the php.executablePath is a command like docker run -it --rm <my_image_name> php i.e. give the path to the executable inside my docker image.

Didn't find how to do this until now.

Also tried, without success: "php.executablePath": "${workspaceFolder}/.vscode/php.sh" and then, .vscode/php.sh is an executable script (and working fine i.e. i can run .vscode/php.sh --version f.i.).

So, on my side: how to specify the path so php is the one of my Docker image?

Thanks.

Damned, I've search two hours before posting and ... now I've found how : I'm working with WSL2 under Windows and Docker so just open my vscode editor and in the bottom left part of the screen, click on Reopen in container (this means you should have a .devcontainer/devcontainer.json file). Probably not a solution for you.
