You're gonna start a war with questions like this, but pretty much every
question does that :)

I would choose PostgreSQL as well.  I've used MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle,
and SQLServer and like PostgreSQL the best... in my Oracle is too hot,
MySQL too cold, and PostgreSQL just right :)

As far as links...

PostgreSQL

http://techdocs.postgresql.org/
http://www.ca.postgresql.org/docs/awbook.html
http://stage.linuxports.com/projects/postgres/book1.htm


PHP

http://www.php.net/links.php (will keep you plenty busy :)
http://www.zend.com
http://www.phpbuilder.com


As far as message boards go Phorum is pretty popular...

http://phorum.org/

You can see it running here (as well as a lot of other places):

Have fun!
