<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" METHOD="POST">

RE: dropdown to redirect?

The page that receives the form's values should check the value, determine the redirect page and then use header() to perform the redirect.

There is an entry in the FAQ list.

Just note that the redirect/header must be used before if there is any out put by the page that performs the redirect. Even if there is a space that gets sent before the header, the script will error out.
