Install PHP without Apache on Ubuntu

I was actually about to do some coding and then i got distracted with this annoying error on vscode.

I keep getting this error on vscode:

I had been ignoring it, but i thought fine, ill fix it and install php on the server. 

for some reason when installing php on ubuntu with apt it assumes that you also want to install the apache web server???

sudo apt install php

also installs:

apache2 apache2-bin apache2-data apache2-utils libapache2-mod-php7.4 libapr1 libaprutil1 libaprutil1-dbd-sqlite3
  libaprutil1-ldap libjansson4 liblua5.2-0 libsodium23 linux-image-4.15.0-99-generic linux-modules-4.15.0-99-generic
  php-common php7.4 php7.4-cli php7.4-common php7.4-json php7.4-opcache php7.4-readline ssl-cert

No.. I just want php thanks.

sudo apt remove php

So you need to install php cgi 1st and then you can install php without it installing the apache server as well. 

sudo apt install php-cgi

and then 

sudo apt install php

now locate the php location

whereis php
php: /usr/bin/php7.4 /usr/bin/php /usr/lib/php /etc/php /usr/share/php7.4-common /usr/share/php7.4-readline /usr/share/php7.4-opcache /usr/share/php7.4-json /usr/share/man/man1/php.1.gz

Now add it to settings json in vscode

{
    "php.validate.executablePath": "/usr/bin/php7.4"
}

Hopefully no more errors finding php.

"Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. 'Are you feeling all right?' I asked her. 'I feel all sleepy,' she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was...in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunised against measles. ...I dedicated two of my books to Olivia, the first was ‘James and the Giant Peach’. That was when she was still alive. The second was ‘The BFG’, dedicated to her memory after she had died from measles. You will see her name at the beginning of each of these books. And I know how happy she would be if only she could know that her death had helped to save a good deal of illness and death among other children."

I just checked google books for BFG, and the dedication is there.
