Your asking about something that is really a matter of opinion. Really it depends on your application requirements. I'm a fan of PostgreSQL because of it's support for foreign keys, triggers, PL/SQL and it's adherence to SQL standards all of which are not available with MySQL. PostgreSQL is a very good database, many even compare it to Oracle. All that said PHP+MySQL is the most common solution you'll run into and you will probably find more documentation/How-To on it. In any case it's your decision.

Just so you know though the .org TLD has recently been moved to a PostgreSQL database. See a recent article on slashdot. http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/01/24/1549207&mode=thread&tid=95

Let the religious flame wars begin. :)
