Also, what defines "dynamic?" To me, a dynamic website can mean one that has a sort of "news update" weekly (or whatever interval), and it can mean one that changes it's complete layout every [insert interval].
Close...A dynamic website is one that changes it's content for any given situation. Different user, different events, different time, different mouse clicks even.

2) What's the difference between MySQL and PostgreSQL?
Dunno but MySQL seems more popular.
MySQL is more robust for large scale and enterprise size Database Servers. Both are open source, but MySQL tends to be part of the LAMP software package,
Linux
Apache
MySQL
Perl/PHP/Python
Though there are other variations, but it mainly competes with J2EE and MS .NET

PHP is actually defined as a scripting tool. It can be used similar to Adobe's ColdFusion, where a page is created with php tags, and the php software on the server takes those tags and followes the instructions in them
