Dropdown menu in HTML\PHP using MySQL database

I want to list a dropdown menu in my HTML form, that the user can select the item they want, using a dropdown menu (based on items in database) I have researched a lot, and come to this as last resort! Please explain, and help.

it should look like: Select a Product: -dropdown menu- Quantity: 86

<html>
<head>
    <title>BuyingTransaction</title>
    </head>
<body>
<form action= "BuyingTransaction.php" method="post">
<select class="form-dropdown" style="width:150px" id="input_5" 
name="ProductNames">
</form>

<?php

    $username="22243339";
    $password="X23CZw2X";
    $server="localhost";
    $database="DB_22243339";


    $sqlConnect = mysql_connect($server, $username, $password);

    // Check connection to the database
    if(!sqlConnect)
    {
        die('Could not connect: ' . mysqlerror());
    }

    mysqli_select_db($sqlConnect, $database);


    $filter = mysql_query("SELECT ProductName FROM Products", $sqlConnect);
    menu = "";
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($filter))
    {
        $menu .="<option>" . $row['dropdown_option'] . "</option>";
    }
    // Close menu form
    $menu = "</select></form>";
    echo $menu;;
    mysqli_close(sqlConnect);
?>
</select>
</body>
</html>
