Depending on your definition of "portable", that's what VMs are for.
I've been running nothing but VMs here at home for a few years now (Hyper-V, specifically). Those VMs have gone through host OS upgrades (2008 R2 -> 2012 -> 2012 R2), changed host machines, swapped motherboards, migrated to a RAID setup, migrated to SSD, all without having to reinstall any of my dev apps/tools/utilities/SDKs/etc.

Nice! I've been thinking to setup VM. If only VM would run in USB then just pluggin in a computer that would probably require kind of a VM launcher. That is really nice then you can take a backup of your usb in case of a failure..

Hyper-V doesn't really care where the VHD is. Create a new VM, and point it to the existing .VHD file, whether it's across a LAN, on a USB stick or an external hard drive.
Performance would probably be what you could reasonably expect though.

Yes.
But you can just learn to use Notepad and the command-line.

Has anyone been in the swag bucks influencer program? I am was thinking about signing up for it since I have a blog. Usually about every week or two I post an entry unless I am performing a task or have family troubles. What does everyone recommend if I use this program? Note: usually these type of blog posts are separate from the ones I post here on code project.

I recommend you regard the "swag bucks influencer program" as being yet another multi-level-marketing internet-scam roughly equivalent of the Ebola outbreak.

Bob was sitting on the plane when a guy took the seat beside him. The guy was an emotional wreck, pale, hands shaking, moaning in fear.
"What's the matter?" Bob asked.
"I've been transferred to Detroit, there are crazy people there. They've got lots of shootings, gangs, race riots, drugs, poor public schools, and the highest crime rate in the nation".
Jack replied "I've lived in Detroit all my life. It's not as bad as the media says. Find a nice home, go to work, mind your own business, and enrol your kids in a nice private school. It's as safe a place as anywhere in the world".
The guy relaxed and stopped shaking and said "Oh, thank you. I've been worried to death. But if you live there and say it's okay, I'll take your word for it. What do you do for a living?"
"I'm a tail gunner on a Budweiser truck".

So... the guy's name is Bob or Jack?

That's part of the joke, you could probably localize it by changing to Liverpool Luton and Fosters.

After a year and a half of not having to work in PHP/MySQL, I am now being forced to revisit an old POC (proof of concept or piece of crap, take your pick) project that a customer has now decided they want to use, naturally with quite a few changes!..and they need it operating in less than two months! Previous PHP editing was done with Active State Komodo, which works OK, but has some quirks, and lacks a debugger. (at least for the free version) I thought this time I would try the PHP Tools for VS and after finally getting debugging working seem to be off to a good start. Now I just need to remember all the weirdness that goes along with PHP.

Why not try WebMatrix for PHP? 
Microsoft had started supporting PHP in WebMatrix 3 (not in Visual Studio). So, I believe you will get a lot of good tools for IDE under WebMatrix and they also support MySQL.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll check it out.

I don't believe you can debug in WebMatrix. That was the drawback for me so I went with the WAMP stack and am using NetBeans IDE so I could debug.

There's a plug-in for PHP that's something like $90 that I bought which made working with PHP significantly less painful. Debugger support, etc.

Thanks Marc! That's the one I installed without realizing it was a trial version.  That's OK though, if it improves my chances of getting this project done on time, it will be worth the $90. So far it seems to work great!

I use VS.PHP[^] ...does everything from the comforts of my Visual Studio. I've done things like import Joomla and WordPress into it and debugged them.
It will work with its own internal webserver the way Visual Studio does or you can set up PHP on IIS and use that. Has all the usual syntax highlighting, Intellisense, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
I'll try this one when the trial for the other runs out, then choose which one I like. Pricewise, this one has a slight edge...and free upgrades for life! I've just noticed that the updates for each version of VS are free, not so for the upgrades to newer versions of VS. Thanks!

Good luck with it!

The PHP support in Netbeans is pretty good. In fact I switched from PHPSTORM 8 (which I thought was pretty impressive, and which I paid for) to Netbeans, because the debugging support for my project (HTML5/CSS/JS & PHP/MySQL) turned out to be better and easier to configure and use.
