How to link to new php template page from dropdown list?

I have a php mysql project with a dropdown list box. The dropdown shows list of stories in my database table. But nothing happens when user selects one.

But how do I enable ACTION to link to new page of content?

<SELECT NAME=thing>
<OPTION VALUE=0>Choose
$options.="<OPTION VALUE=\"$id\">".$thing.'</option>';
</SELECT>

kisses!!

 

use onchange function in the SELECT and submit it to the page

 

thanks, but as a newb I could use some code examples. pretty please??
