Do you want them to swich as soon as they click on the option,
or are you going to have a submit button? There are several ways
of doing this, including Javascripting.
I found this Javascript example via Google:
PHP Code:<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> Example onchange and submit </TITLE>
<script language="javascript">
function myChangeHandler()
{
window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value, '_blank');
this.form.submit();
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<form id="myform1" action="test.html">
<select onchange="myChangeHandler.apply(this)">
<option>Please select....</option>
<option value="http://stackoverflow.com">Stackoverflow</option>
<option value="http://twitter.com">Twitter</option>
</select>
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>

That will redirect the user in the same window to a new site.PHP Code:case "yahoo":
header('location: http://www.yahoo.com');
break;
