It's a portable server manager that you can go anywhere, anytime, in any computer and run your webapp.
Remember to start the apache and mysql servers before you run any script to access a table in MySQL using your Apache Web server. In Windows open Computer Management, Services and start each service in turn. In Linux using the KDE desktop open services applet and start both httpd and mysqld services.
LAMP is an open source Web development platform that uses Linux as the operating system, Apache as the Web server, MySQL as the relational database management system and PHP as the object-oriented scripting language. (Sometimes Perl or Python is used instead of PHP.)
Sure thing, XAMPP works well for this. It bundles Apache, MySQL, PHP (and Perl) and can work on Windows, Solaris, Mac OSX or Linux.
There's a version here that is optimized for portability on your USB device of choice.

I have been using the Uniform server for some time now. It has a small footprint and works nicely. http://www.uniformserver.com/
