On windows I’m looking for the php executable file path so I can get rid of the annoying php error message within VSCode:
“Cannot validate since a PHP installation could not be found. Use the setting ‘php.validate.executablePath’ to configure the PHP executable.”
Adding the path should allow php scripts to run without the error.

I would also like to know in windows, where the path is stored to be able to put it in the vscode configurations

Lamentablemente acá nadie responde nada, esto es más bien “hágalo por su propia cuenta y sálvese quien pueda”
Después de mirar cada una de las carpetas de la instalación logre dar con la solución.
en las configuraciones, y siguiendo la ruta de tu instalación de windows, estaría alojado acá:
C:/Users/_ **USER** _/AppData/Roaming/Local/lightning-services/php-7.4.1+16/bin/win64/php.exe
Pdta. Remplace _ **USER** _ por el nombre de su usuario windows

Or on windows 10:
C:\Users[YOURUSERNAME]\AppData\Local\Programs\Local\resources\extraResources\lightning-services\php-7.4.1+18

And in macOS is the php executable file path.
`/Applications/Local.app/Contents/Resources/extraResources/lightning-services/php-7.4.1+18/bin/darwin/bin/php`
