You will need to read the tutorial. Focus on the PHP Database section.

you need how to learn how to make tables and apply values to fields within a record. Something else to consider is how it this going to be maintained? Are items going to be bought or sold? You may want to consider adding a field wherein an item can be considered 'active' (true) or 'inactive' (false), as things get added/removed from inventory. Also, who will administer this backend? Will he he tell you which items to add, modify, or remove? You might want to consider making some sort of admin page for your client so if he wants to manually edit, add, or remove items from his inventory, he can do it himself, as opposed to emailing you all the changes all the time.
