Open WordPress Page from selected option dropdown

Looks like not many folks do this. Anyway here’s something that works for me to get drop-down select to go to WordPress page”

<?php
$my_title = $_POST['place'];
global $wpdb;
$mypost = $wpdb->get_row( "SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_title="" . $my_title . "" " );
$permalink = get_permalink($mypost->ID);
echo "<a href=$permalink><BR>Click Here to Go to Selection</a>";
?>

“place” is the name of the select. Once the selection is made and submitted, this opens the page with the same name as selected. The names in the select box have to be the same as page names. If it can’t find the page, you will get a 404, or whatever your item-not-found response is.
