How can I link HTML dropdown options to specific php files?

Question

I want to select one value from the dropdown page and it should directly link to the .php file associated with it. How can I do that?

<td>
<select onchange="location = this.value;">
    <option value="nil"> Select an option from below</option>
    <option action="update_user.php">Update User</option>
    <option action="update_project.php">Update a Project</option>
</select>
</td>
