=========================================

[](#wpcs-for-tsf-files-via-composer-and-phpcs)

[](#required-vscode-config-example-for-windows)

*Unlisted settings are optional.*

```
{
    "php.validate.executablePath": "C:\\your-php-installation-folder\\php.exe",
    "phpcs.executablePath": "C:\\the-folder-you-ran-composer-for-this-project\\wpcs-tsf\\vendor\\bin\\phpcs.bat",
    "phpcs.standard": "TSF",
    "phpcs.errorSeverity": 1,
    "phpcs.warningSeverity": 1,
}
```

Issues
------

[](#issues)

On Windows, PHP might not be recognized as an internal or external command.

For this, you need to [set PHP to your PATH environmental variable](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31291317/php-is-not-recognized-as-an-internal-or-external-command-in-command-prompt/31291404#31291404) at:

- (enter this in the address bar at WLK+E) `Control Panel\System and Security\System`
    - `Advanced system settings`.

But, it's probably easier to [install XAMPP](https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html), which should take care of this for you.

Be sure to restart VScode when you're done setting the `PATH` variable.
