How to set php executable path php.validate.executablePath in vscode when php is set inside docker container?

Question

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.

Answer 1

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.
