I was wondering could someone make a PHP script, that when you entered the name version ect. it would output a compleat NSIS script.
I think it would make portable app creation a lot faster

I don't know about a PHP script, but a template to do what you suggested has already been made.

Also NSIS Portable is available from this site.
Making a portable app "a launcher really" is as easy as putting in the information you mentioned, and dragging the script to the portable nsis window.
Obviously this won't work for all apps, but it works well.
I've created launchers for several apps with it.

It was written in AutoIt, has the option to create just the script or to compile it and create the *.exe. Here's the link:
