Could not determine 'vs16' directory #78

Closed tsioureth closed 3 years ago

Hi,

I apologize in advance, since I'm pretty new to all of this. It might just be a newbie issue.

I had a pop-up error on VS code, saying that I had to indicate the exe's path oh php in the settings. After reading some docs and forum, I landed on the page to set up php on Widows.

As written, I've extracted php-sdk-binary-tools-master.zip in C:\php-sdk. I'm running on Windows 10 Professional 21H1 x 64, so I choose to invoke phpsdk-vs16-x64.bat with Powershell. And this returns me : Could not determine 'vs16' directory

What should I do in order to continue ?

Do you really want to build your own PHP on Windows, or is it just about using PHP on Windows? If the latter, see https://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php (in short, download the desired PHP version from https://windows.php.net/download, unzip to, say C:\php, and tell VSCode the path).

Oh ok, I get it. I've mixed up things between the PHP Source, the php-sdk-binary-tool, and the "ready-to-use" .zip you can download from https://windows.php.net/download.

Indeed, I'm just trying to use PHP on Windows. I've spotted the php.exe in the downloaded file, so I could copy/paste the path, as indicated here : https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/php

Thank you for your help !
