I have the Official Laravel VS Code extension installed but it constantly errors as follows:
/bin/sh: php: command not found
I don't have PHP installed on the host but I do have it installed in a Docker container. Can I tell VS Code or the Official Laravel Extension to use the php that's in the Docker container? And if so, how?
If you have php installed via brew like me, this may fix your problem:
Go to Laravel Extension Settings > Look for "Laravel: PHP Command" > Enter the path of where you have php installed.
Your php location is probably "/opt/homebrew/bin/php" but you can verify by running "whereis php"
