$selectedItem=$_POST['selectedItem'];

header("Location:".$address);

this is what I mean, but in dropdown I will have a lot of items, and I do not hide that in php where I would have a variable and links to it it would be more convenient to supplement it, and otherwise it would not be possible to see the content of php. can you do it in php?
of course, there will be many entries in the dropdown, but a few of them will be with the same id, I mean - so that I can complete the links from the php file and not the whole code
Sorry, I can't understand your target clearly.
again. I have a dropdown list with id, for example "Maszyna1" or "Maszyna2" and so on. I want it to be moved to a specific page after selecting one option and confirming with the button, but these pages are defined in a separate file, it can be a telsts file, xls or php file in which I will have, for example, Maszyna1: 'facebook.com' or for Maszyna2 - google.com. I want these links to dropdown choices to be in a different file than in the whole code
I changed my answer. please check it.
