How to set php executable path php.validate.executablePath in vscode when php is set inside docker container?

Question

I have a development environment based in docker.

Everytime that I open VSCode I get this message:

Cannot validate since no PHP executable is set.

For linux users: if you don't have PHP installed then first download,
then in terminal type

$ whereis php

and it will show path for php executable (It will be either in /usr/bin/php or usr/local/bin/php) which you can copy from terminal.

In VScode goto settings.json file and paste

php.validate.executablePath: /usr/bin/php
