Help with forms, arrays, and bulk editing?

Hey everyone.
I am farly new to PHP and MySQL so I do say sorry in advance for any stupid lines of code I have written.
But I am stuck at a point in a website im making for a friend.

I have a database with a unknown amount of entries.
I have currently found a way to make a list of entries appear in a table. and add a edit button to edit each entry separately on another page
however what I would like is a table with all the entries in so they can admin all the entries without having to go though phpmyadmin

I know it has something to do with arrays. But i cant seem to find a simple explanation for what im wanting to do 
So im hoping someone here can either give me a link to something that will help. or explain it to me in simple terms.

Thanks in advance
PomTom

I can provide code if required from my other working pages but i figured since its a new page im making theres no code written to provide
