VS Code PHP Installation

Question

Hello everyone I'm trying run a simple echo " hello " to see if PHP works in VS code and i get the error.

" 'php' binary could not be either found or executed. Make sure PHP is installed, and add path to "php.executables" setting. "

and here is my settings.json

{
    "workbench.colorTheme": "Default High Contrast",
    "livePreview.notifyOnOpenLooseFile": false,
    "php.validate.executablePath": "C:\\xampp\\php\\php.exe",
    "security.workspace.trust.untrustedFiles": "open",
    "php.executables": {
    },
    "editor.minimap.enabled": false
}

Any help is appreciated!

I have tried adding

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

inside the

"php.executables": {
    }

but i still get the same error.

i'm better that u have to download the last version of php like php-8.2.1 then you have to get the path of php C:\Program Files\php-8.2.1 like this then go to visual studio then settings.json and do this:

"php.executables": {
       "v8.2.1": "C:\\Program Files\\php-8.2.1"
}
