Yes, I guessed it had do to with something like this. OTOH, the
ServerPage model can quickly lead to a disgusting and barely
maintainable mess of application logic and presentation, while the MVC
approach helps designing and writing much more cleaner code (IMHE). As a
matter of fact, lots of PHP apps turns into some more or less well
backed reimplementation of the MVC model.

PostgreSQL is a mature, rock-solid, full-blown RDBMS. While not as
laughable as it used to be until very recently, MySQL is still barely a
DBMS at all - and our experiences with it is that it breaks down way too
easily and is a king-size PITA to maintain and upgrade. In fact, the
real question IMHO is: what would MySQL advantage over PostgreSQL be ?-)

I can't tell if it'll meets your needs, but I really thinks it's worth
giving it a try.
