I am wanting to create an select menu for displaying the order of the item
on a page. I am guessing that I need to get the count of how many items are
in the db and them put them into a select menu.

Your question doesn't really make a great deal of sense. Your SQL could be:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM your_table WHERE 1

Which will give you a single numeric value back (the number of rows). To put them into an HTML page:

<select name="mySelect">
    <option>Choose...</option>
    <option value="1">Foo</option>
</select>

This is a very basic select. You can simply loop through your query results adding more option tags to add more items to the select.
