phpfmt: cannot find php bin

[bardware]

Hi,

I don't have PHP directory on my PATH when I start code. I Add this setting to my user settings: "phpfmt.php_bin": "C:/Program Files/php/7_2-nts/php.exe", yet your plugin keeps complaing phpfmt: cannot find php bin.
Why is that? Does the plugin try to evaluate the path to php.exe somehow?

Best,
Bernhard

No, it just means the path is calling php error.
path like Program Files with spaces may not work well.
You can try "phpfmt.php_bin": "'C:/Program Files/php/7_2-nts/php.exe'".
See last comment in #1.

Form Windows:

After al lot of trys, very simple, I can't understand all the blogs about

install phpfmt from F1 command or plugins UI vs tool

Then add to your settings this lines if you intall php in Program Files:

"phpfmt.php_bin": "C:\\Progra~1\\PHP\\php.exe", "php.validate.executablePath": "C:\\Progra~1\\PHP\\php.exe",

Any way, for know path without spaces (generate problems) open cmd and type dir /x
