There's no php-cs-fixer.bat, and that executablePath wouldn't work unless the environment variable PATH is updated. This gist is lacking a lot of information.

C:\Users\rasho\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin\php-cs-fixer.bat
it exists !
it's working in my case.

share your issue what issue are you facing and your os info.

We need a full step by step instructions on how to install php cs fixer in windows, including the fact that PHP needs to be installed (how, where, what to set up) then exactly what to do next. No luck for me so far. So hard to find good info.

Is there a way to get it to work without having to install composer. I just want to format some php, not have the whole composer thing

I extracted both php and php-cs-fixer on the same folder without installing composer.

I then added this lines to my config file and php-cs-fixer is working:
"php.validate.executablePath": "C:\Users\jaime\php-7.2.7-Win32-VC15-x64\php.exe",
"php.executablePath": "C:\Users\jaime\php-7.2.7-Win32-VC15-x64\php.exe",
"php-cs-fixer.executablePath": "C:\Users\jaime\php-7.2.7-Win32-VC15-x64\php-cs-fixer-v2.phar",
"php-cs-fixer.executablePathWindows": "C:\Users\jaime\php-7.2.7-Win32-VC15-x64\php-cs-fixer-v2.phar",

When you install composer globally the php-cs-fixer.bat file will be available in your Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin directory. From there you can go in phpstorm and under Languages and Frameworks ->PHP -> Quality Tools -> PHP CS Fixer -> click the ... and set the directory path to your .bat file and you then set it in Editor->Inspections->Quality Tools->PHP CS Fixer Validation. Apply the settings and click ok and you should be good.

settings.json file
"php-cs-fixer.executablePath": "%USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\Roaming\\Composer\\vendor\\bin\\php-cs-fixer.bat",
"php-cs-fixer.executablePathWindows": "%USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\Roaming\\Composer\\vendor\\bin\\php-cs-fixer.bat",
"php-cs-fixer.config": "%USERPROFILE%\\.vscode\\.php_cs",

Same here and I don't know what to do.

This was an old workflow that truly worked on my windows os. I think i should archive this gist.

This is work just fine on my Windows. Thank's a lot btw.

I usually use Local by Flywheel on Windows, and I did not install PHP locally.
In that case, it seems that you need to install PHP separately.

The first step is to go to
https://www.php.net/downloads
from the "Windows downlaods" link at to install PHP in C:\php.

Next, download php-cs-fixer-v3.phar from the following link and place it in ~/.vscode/.
https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/PHP-CS-Fixer/blob/master/doc/installation.rst

Finally, add the following lines to settings.json and it works fine.

    "[php]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "junstyle.php-cs-fixer"
    },
    // "php.executablePath": "C:/php/php.exe",
    "php.validate.executablePath": "C:/php/php.exe",
    "php-cs-fixer.onsave": true,
    "php-cs-fixer.executablePath": "~/.vscode/php-cs-fixer-v3.phar",
