How to disable PHP validation in Visual Studio Code?

Question

When opening any PHP file in the Windows version of Visual Studio Code (version 0.10.1), I get the message:

Cannot validate the php file. The php program was not found. Use the 'php.validate.executablePath' setting to configure the location of 'php'

I don't have PHP installed locally -- is there some way to turn off the automatic validation for PHP, either for the project or globally?

Answer 1

Starting with version 0.10.5, there is a setting under the PHP Configuration Options section in settings.json to control validation. You can modify either the workspace settings or the global settings depending on what you want to accomplish.

// Whether php validation is enabled or not.
    "php.validate.enable": true,
