Need help in Explaining DB code

[SamCec]

I had someone write a PHP routine for me that reads a database and displays the information via a PHP/HTML application. Here is the first part of the code:

<?php

include('connect/connect.php');
mysql_select_db($database) or die ("Unable to Connect to the database");

$woods = array();

$selectWood =	"SELECT * FROM `wood`";
$queryWood = mysql_query($selectWood) or die(mysql_error());

while($item = mysql_fetch_array($queryWood))
{
	$woods[$item['index']] = array($item['name'], $item['photo']);
}

How do I get into this database to view, add or delete records. If I may use this example, I know MS Access. With Access I start the Access 2003 , attach the mdb file, open the database and then I have access to all the columns and rows of data in the table. Is there a routine similar to MS Access that allows me to gain access to all the rows and columns the table in the code?

you write the mysql query and run it. if you want a management type interface phpmyadmin is popular.

Specific to the code above, the db contents are now in the $woods array, you do what you like with that
