To set up a PHP environment in VSCode, the following steps need to be followed:

  1. To install the PHP parser, you first need to download the corresponding PHP version from the official website (https://www.php.net/downloads.php) and choose the appropriate operating system for installation.
  2. Install VSCode plugins: To install PHP-related plugins in VSCode, such as “PHP Intelephense” or “PHP Debug,” you can search for and install them through the Extensions search bar.
  3. Set the PHP path: Open the VSCode settings (Preferences -> Settings), enter “PHP” in the search bar, locate the “PHP: Executable Path” setting, and specify the path to the PHP interpreter as the value of this setting option.
  4. Create a PHP project: Open a project folder in VSCode and create an “index.php” file as the entry point within that folder.
  5. Debugging PHP code (optional): If debugging PHP code is necessary, you can use the “PHP Debug” plugin and configure the debugger settings in the “launch.json” file. Debugging can be executed by pressing the F5 key.

After completing the above steps, you can write, run, and debug PHP code in VSCode.
