Answer 1

I have php installed separately. There are articles on the net on how to install php on windows
Be sure to add the path to the php.exe executable file to the PATH variable in the windows settings

"php.validate.enable": true,
"php.validate.run": "onSave",
"php.validate.executablePath": "D:/ospanel/modules/php/PHP-7.2/php.exe",

Write the path to your php executable file
Now when you save the file, VSCode will check it for php errors

after installing php on windows, rename php.ini-production to php.ini;
uncomment (remove the sign;) before the lines:

extension=php_curl.dll;
extension=php_gd2.dll;
extension=php_mbstring.dll;
extension=php_openssl.dll;
extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll;
extension=php_pdo_sqlite.dll;

after which we indicate in the settings.json file the answer above from Anatoly Pychev and everything works.
