you'll you'll be able to see this  download link so you need to open that and this   link I'm going to put right in your description  so you can directly use that link to land over to   this site and here you can see that our latest  version of PHP P version PHP version 8.3.1 so   here you need to just simp click on this uh  uh Windows download as I'm installing it for   our windows and here you can see we have this  non thread save option and another we have is   a thread save option so this is the one that I'm  going to download this ZIP file and here you can   see it is rightly started downloading our PHP so  once we have PHP next thing that you will need is   Visual Studio code itself so just simply type  visual ual Studio code and you can just simply   you know proceed to download our Visual Studio  code again this link I'm going to put right in   our description and uh our Visual Studio code is  also start started downloading I have both these   two software so I'll minimize our browser I'll go  to my download directory and here you can see that   we have our Visual Studio code and PHP so let's  install our Visual Studio code first and this   is our license agreement you need to just simply  accept the license agreement and proceed so click   on next over here again next and here I'm going to  select all these options right and click on next   and then install and it going to start installing  our Visual Studio code right so by the time it get   installed what I'm going to do is I'm going to  extract our PHP so just simply right click and   click on extract all and extract so it's going  to start extracting our PHP over here and you   can see that our PHP is rightly extracted raed  so let's close this so this is where our PHP is   extracted so what I'm going to do is I'm going  to rename this folder and I'm going to rename   this and I'm going to keep only till version PHP  8.3.1 right so I'm going to basically sorten the   path and then I'm going to just simply cut the  folder and I'm going to past that within our C drive so here you can see that that in our C drive  we have now PHP uh uh 8.3.1 uh you know folder is   rightly pasted over here it contains all the files  so now what you need to do is you need to click on   this address bar then right click and copy this  you know folder path and then you need to click   on this search and need

installed now so launch Visual  Studio is also selected click on finish to start   launching our Visual Studio code and you can  see that our Visual Studio code is directly   launched over here now before I show anything  on Visual Studio code let's first verify our   PHP got installed successfully or not so for that  just simply go to search and type CMD to open our   Command Prompt and uh in our Command Prompt let's  just simply type PHP space- Dash version and hit   enter and you can see that our PHP version 8.3.1  is rightly shown over here so if you see this   similar type of prompt then all that basically  mean is our PHP is rightly installed right so once   you have PHP directly installed you can you know  uh go to our Visual Studio code itself and you   can close the welcome note for now so now what you  need to do is you need to click on this Explorer   and click on open folder so what we are going to  do now is we are going to create a new folder and   we are going to name that folder as PHP program  so I'll give PHP prog I'll go inside that PHP prog   I'll select the folder and our folder is slightly  selected over here yes I TR the authors so our PHP   proc folder is slightly selected over here so we  need to click on this plus icon to create a new   file so let's give the file name as again prog do  PHP all right so why PHP because we are writing   in it PHP so we we need to give one extension PHP  so we can see our pr. PHP file is rightly opened   over here all right so now you need to go to this  extensions and you need to type over here PHP all   right so here let's select this PHP intell fense  and I can see uh we have a documentation over here   so here if you see it is telling we need to search  this adate buil-in PHP and we need to disable that   right so we are copying this and we are search SE  it over here and you can see we have our default   vs uh code you know language feure so we need  to disable that right and it's telling we need   to reload so let's reload so our successfully  reloaded and now again remove this and type PHP   to install our PHP intense so just simply hit  install and it's going to start installing our   this extension can see it is rightly installed so  you know let's click on open over here click on open and you can see that their official site is  rightly open over here so you can you know read   more about them and you can also donate if you if  you want I'll minimize this so after installing   PHP intense you need to install code Runner also  so just simply type Runner over here and you'll   be able to see code Runner is our first option  so so this is what you need to install so you   can see you know all this language it supports  so it is properly installed now now let's go   back to our you know uh pr.
