Description

Dialog about not having PHP runtimes installed pops up every time I open a php file.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Installed Brackets on Linux Mint 19 with PHP7.2
2. Modified "brackets.json":

   {
   "brackets-eslint.gutterMarks": true,
   "brackets-eslint.useLocalESLint": false,
   "fonts.fontSize": "12px",
   "fonts.fontFamily": "'SourceCodePro-Medium', ＭＳ ゴシック, 'MS Gothic', monospace",
   "php": {
       "enablePhpTooling": true,
       "executablePath": "/usr/bin/php",
       "memoryLimit": "1024M",
       "validateOnType": "false"
   }
   }

3. Restarted Brackets
4. Opened a php file.

Expected behavior: Not to see errors about the PHP runtime files not being installed after following the instructions documented here and reading issue pinned here

Actual behavior: Getting errors about PHP runtime files not being installed/found.

Versions

OS: Linux Mint 19 Brackets: Release 1.14 build 1.14.0-17740

Well, apparently there is a difference between the version offered in the Linux Mint Software Manager and the .deb package downloadable from the brackets.io website.

At first I installed Brackets from the Software catalog within Mint, which apparently is a FlatPack version that does things differently when it comes to handling the brackets.json config file. (it doesn't work) After uninstalling that version and installing the .deb package from the website, I was able to make Brackets work with the PHP settings in he config file.
