For me it was important to delete the  php executablePath  path from the VS code settings and leave only the path to PHP in the Path variable   When I had the Path variable together with php executablePath  an irritating error still occurred  despite the fact that the path to php was correct

This one also works   Remove the  php executablePath  line from the VS code settings  Then add the xampp php path to the System variables       After that restart the Visual Studio Code
