A:
There is no PHP support in Visual Web Developer 2010 from Microsoft.

There is http://www.jcxsoftware.com/vs.php which enables Visual Studio to work properly with PHP files. Alternatively have a look at this blog post that explains how to use PHP with Visual Studio (http://www.cumps.be/visual-studio-2008-and-php-coloring/)

VWD 2010 Express does not support php. If you want to highlight php syntaxes then use notepad++, which is free.
