MySQL is the database, php would be used to talk to it and display that information from the database

Despite the lack of detail in your post, I do believe this is the wrong forum.

your being WAY too general...this is what ANY database can do...
search for mySQL/php tutorials and go look in the software/programming/games section

Access is as simple as a database gets. Then to make it an "online searchable/editable database" you would need to use a dynamic web language such as ASP, PHP (use with MySQL database), ColdFusion, or JSP to take the job of the front end display. Think of them as substitute pages of HTML (static content).

Other databases include MySQL as mentioned, SQL Server, DB2, and Oracle... though the latter two are more difficult for a beginner.

Post in the correct forum and people will start you off on PHP with MySQL since they're free. In my opinion, ColdFusion (with any ODBC database) is the easiest to learn but it's not cheap nor widely supported.

You will need to consider other things such as who/where to host this from. Are you planning on creating all this yourself ?
