Not sure if you just wanted the html part of the code or both so i made both.
First the html(the link_me.htm page):
Code:
<form method="POST" action="go_action.php">
<select name="addr">
<option value="none">----Please choose a location----</option>
<option value="0">Majorgeeks forums</option>
<option value="1">Google.com search</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="GO" />
</form>
Then two ways of redirecting the user, the first redirects the user instantly while the other does so in 5 seconds.
go_action.php file:

PHP:

<?php //the array of sites $sites = array("http://forum.majorgeeks.com/index.php", "http://www.google.com/"); //count the number of sites in array(for validation) $max = count($sites); //decrease the number because the array keys always start at 0 $max--; //check if the values are valid if($_POST['addr'] >= 0 && $_POST['addr'] <= $max && $_POST['addr'] != "none") { //if the values are valid redirect the user header("location: ".$sites[$_POST['addr']]); } else { //if the values were not valid send the user back to the selection page header("location: link_me.htm"); } ?>

Or:

PHP:

<?php //the array of sites $sites = array("http://forum.majorgeeks.com/index.php", "http://www.google.com/"); //count the number of sites in array(for validation) $max = count($sites); //decrease the number because the array keys always start at 0 $max--; //check if the values are valid if($_POST['addr'] >= 0 && $_POST['addr'] <= $max && $_POST['addr'] != "none") { //if they were valid output the html echo"<head>\n"; echo"<meta http-equiv=\"Refresh\" content=\"5;url=".$sites[$_POST['addr']]."\" />\n"; echo"<title>Redirected to site: ".$sites[$_POST['addr']]."</title>\n"; echo"</head>\n"; echo"<body>\n"; echo"<center>You will be redirected to the site ".$sites[$_POST['addr']]." in 5 seconds.<br />\n"; echo"If not, please click this link: <a href=\"".$sites[$_POST['addr']]."\">".$sites[$_POST['addr']]."</a></center>\n"; echo"</body>\n"; } else { //if the values were not valid send the user back to the selection page header("location: link_me.htm"); } ?>
