use mysql data and put into a drop down - php

Question

i have be been trying to put a count query into a drop down as i am creating a rating type system and based on the number of rows in a database i want to return a scale for example 1-5
<?php
// Ruth Gammack
session_start();
$page = 'index.php';
mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '') or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db('group4') or die(mysql_error());
//echo "Done";
require_once "./includes/choices.inc.php";
if(isset($_GET["action"])){
switch($_GET["action"]) {
case "add":
addmodule();
break;
case "remove":
removemodule();
break;
case "empty":
emptychoice();
break;
}
reviewChoices();
// close database connection
dbClose($conn);
}
function modules(){
$get = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM module');
if (mysql_num_rows($get) == 0){
echo '<p>There are no Modules available at this time please check back later</p>';
}
else {
while ($get_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($get)) {
echo '<p>'.$get_row['moduleID'].'<br />'.$get_row['ModuleName'].'<br />'.$get_row['ModuleDesc'].'<br />'.$get_row['LecturerID'].'</p>';
// printing the list box select command
$query_disp=('SELECT moduleID, COUNT(*) FROM module');
$result_disp = mysql_query($query_disp);
echo "<select name=”selRating”>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result_disp))
{
echo "<option value='" . $row['moduleID'] . "'>" . $row['moduleID'] . "</option>";
/* Option values are added by looping through the array */
}
echo "</select>";// Closing of list box
}
}
}
?>
i have tried many different ways but I have run out of ideas.

Maybe something like this (not tested)?
$query_disp=('SELECT moduleID, ModuleName, ModuleDesc, LecturerID, COUNT(*) AS cnt FROM module GROUP BY moduleID');
$select = "<select name=”selRating”>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query_disp))
{
echo '<p>'.$get_row['moduleID'].'<br />'.$get_row['ModuleName'].'<br />'.$get_row['ModuleDesc'].'<br />'.$get_row['LecturerID'].'</p>';
$select += "<option value='" . $row['moduleID'] . "'>" . $row['ModuleName'] . " " . $row['cnt'] . "</option>";
}
$select += '</select>';
echo $select;
