best way to redirect to a selected store

Question

I set a magento website with several stores, I'm making a list of all thoses stores in a page where the user can pick up the nearest one using a form like this

    <form action="<?php echo  ;?>"  method="post">
        <input type="submit" value="select store" />
    </form>

    <form action="<?php echo  ;?>"  method="post">
        <input type="submit" value="select store" />
    </form>

In the action attribute I would like to set the url of each store according to his Id... Is it possible? Is there a better way to proceed (maybe avoiding GET parameter)?

Edit: Finally I achieve what I was looking for with this snippet

echo '<p><a href="' . Mage::getUrl() . '?___store=' . $store . '">pick up this restaurant</a></p>';

It's quite close of what clockworkgeek suggest

echo '<p><a href="' .Mage::getUrl('', array('___store'=>$store)) . '">pick up this restaurant</a></p>';

but results are differents:

my test:

http://test.mysite.com/?___store=3

clockworkgeek code:

http://test.mysite.com/___store/3/

The first link is working fine, the second lead to a 404 one...

Also I try this code which is producing nothing, Any idea why ?

Mage::app()->setCurrentStore(5);
$this->_redirect('');

The redirection is working fine, but I'm still on the same store, Is it the good way of using setCurrentStore function?

then I finally have a go with this one, but I can find suitable example on the net about it... how can I using it, and related question how can i Hve the list of all the magento controllers ?

 $this->_forward('defaultNoRoute');

thx

It was a kind of "guess the good code" into php brackets, I edit the first post with more information — krifur, May 23 '11 at 09:35

Perhaps you are thinking of getUrl(). For example:

echo Mage::getUrl('', array('_store'=>$storeId));

Thx, I need to change it a little bit (check my edit) but I'm not entirely satisfied whit this code as it display get parameter in the URL... – krifur May 23 '11 at 09:33
With this method you only need a single underscore. – clockworkgeek May 23 '11 at 10:35
when I do it with a single underscore it redirect me to the base url without changing store... – krifur May 23 '11 at 12:09
What does the result look like compared to your above test? – clockworkgeek May 23 '11 at 16:20

You should bind the submit button using JQuery events and then use window.location to redirect to the selected store.

It should be quite similar to the code given in the first answer here: Redirect automatically when selecting an item from a select drop-down list
