php configuration: PHP executable not found

I am trying to setup php in VSCode. I don't want it in my global settings, so in the workspace settings I have:

{
    "folders": [
        {
            "path": "."
        }
    ],
    "settings": {
        "php.validate.enable": true,
        "php.validate.executablePath": "C:\\php\\php.exe",
        "php.validate.run": "onType"
    }
}

I downloaded PHP to c:\php...

enter image description here

But am still getting this error when I fire up the workspce:

PHP executable not found. Install PHP 7 and add it to your PATH or set the php.executablePath setting

You also need to set php.executablePath inside the settings.json, so that everything works as it should.

To find the settings.json file go to;

File -> Preferences -> User Settings -> Settings.json

And in this, make sure the following are set;

"php.executablePath": "C:\\php\\php.exe",
"php.validate.executablePath": "C:\\php\\php.exe"
