I am trying to code a shoutbox from scratch. I know it will be hard, so don't post here if you only want to tell me that.
What I need to know is what the best database for this is. It will be for a small forum with few hits and MUST have administrative controls (deleting posts, banning users, etc.). Should I use MySQL or something else?

It actually won't be very hard. I suggest you use MySQL for your database, though it's just one of many fine options. The controls (or at least the actions of the controls) will have to be hosted elsewhere, though.

Do you have a suggestion as to what version of MySQL and PhP to use?

Newest one available but really, if it's going to be just a simple shoutbox that doesn't matter :P
