PhpStorm Can not run PHP Code CodeSniffer

Question

Im trying to use CodeSniffer in PhpStorm.

In settings->PHP->CLI Interpreter I linked to the php.exe Im using https://windows.php.net/ but also tried it with Cygwin and XAMPP.

PhpStorm shows me the right PHP Version 7.2.5 and the php.ini

In the CodeSniffer configuration I selected the phpcs.bat When Im clicking on Validate I just got

Can not run PHP Code

Also added everything to the PATH

Did I miss something?

Then I get Cannot run program "...\phpcs": CreateProcess error=193, %1 is not a valid Win32-Application — Ted Logan
1) Screenshots with settings please. Details matters. 2) Is you php.exe is system-wide discoverable? I mean -- will it show the right path if you run where php in terminal (outside of IDE)? — LazyOne
You are executing phpcs.bat -- perfect. .BAT file inside calls your php.exe (as it does not know anything about PhpStorm and PHP Interpreters and stuff) ... and right now it looks like php.exe is not actually discoverable by OS. You need to put the path to it into system PATH variable. That's what error message suggests me... — LazyOne

You should put phpcs.bat and phpcs in your PHP folder - e.g. d:\program\php\phpcs. The CodeSniffer itself should reside in d:\program\php\PEAR\PHP\CodeSniffer - there will be a script autoload.php and a subfolder src.

Then in Settings -> Languages & Frameworks -> PHP -> Code Sniffer you specify the path to phpcs.bat and Validate it.

Then in Settings -> Editor -> Inspections you find the node PHP Code Sniffer validation and enable it. After enabling it you will be able to configure it - specifically choose the coding standard.

This is my phpcs

#!D:\PROGRAM\Inet\Design\php\php.exe
<?php

if (is_file(__DIR__.'/../autoload.php') === true) {
    include_once __DIR__.'/../autoload.php';
} else {
    include_once 'PHP/CodeSniffer/autoload.php';
}

$runner   = new PHP_CodeSniffer\Runner();
$exitCode = $runner->runPHPCS();
exit($exitCode);

This is my phpcs.bat

@echo off

if "%PHPBIN%" == "" set PHPBIN=D:\PROGRAM\Inet\Design\php\php.exe
if not exist "%PHPBIN%" if "%PHP_PEAR_PHP_BIN%" neq "" goto USE_PEAR_PATH

:USE_PEAR_PATH

This is my PEAR_ENV.reg which I have imported into Windows Registry
