It’s called linting (grammar check). Probably from https://packagecontrol.io/packages/SublimeLinter-php or a PHP language server.

Forget to mention that you have to install https://packagecontrol.io/packages/SublimeLinter first.

If SublimeLinter-php is still not working after you install SublimeLinter and restart Sublime Text, continue the following reading.

According to http://www.sublimelinter.com/en/latest/troubleshooting.html#finding-a-linter-executable,

You have 2 options:

make your php executable (php.exe, assuming you are on Windows) in the PATH environment.
add the directory of php.exe to SublimeLinter’s paths settings.

Absolutely , i have install the packagecontrol first but no luck .
Can you please knock me on Skype : wpsafar
I will highly appreciate for your help .

**jfcherng** · September 8, 2018, 7:40pm

I am not going to help people privately here.

The first 2 things to check are

Have you installed PHP on your machine? I mean, is php.exe available on your machine?
What’s the output if you type php.exe in your Windows command line (i.e., cmd)?

Hi there ,
Okay .

I have not install php on my machine bit i use xammp server .
Here is my cmd output :

**jfcherng** · September 9, 2018, 1:37pm

php.exe must be somewhere on your machine. You have to find out where it is. You may go your installation directory of xammp and search php.exe. After that, add the directory of php.exe in to your PATH environment.

Thank you .
I got php.exe . I am sorry can you please make a comment little bit more step step what’s the next .

**rwols** · September 9, 2018, 3:35pm

You need to add the path to php.exe to your %PATH% variable.

**jfcherng** · September 9, 2018, 5:20pm

To be more clear, add C:\xampp\php into your PATH variable.

You could click on the address bar and copy the directory path.

**wpsafar** · September 9, 2018, 7:19pm

Than i got it : C:\xampp\php

Now where i should past please …

**jfcherng** · September 9, 2018, 7:22pm

If you think the link provided by @rwols is not clear to you. You may visit https://www.architectryan.com/2018/03/17/add-to-the-path-on-windows-10/, which provided more detailed screenshots.

**wpsafar** · September 9, 2018, 7:23pm

Ahh thanks for sharing . Try it

**wpsafar** · September 9, 2018, 7:37pm

I have make the path change correct !
But now cmd is not working still :

**jfcherng** · September 9, 2018, 7:39pm

It’s working. Now you just need to restart you Sublime Text. May be need to reboot your machine as well (I am not sure).

**wpsafar** · September 9, 2018, 7:45pm
