Step 1. Add a flag to each item to tell the HTML section what to do.
So your $site array will look like (reduced info for line wrap):
$sites[0]=array("http://www.s1.com","Text1",5,"myb1.jpg",true);
$sites[1]=array("http://www.s2.com","Text2",1,"myb2.jpg",false);
$sites[2]=array("http://www.s3.com","Text3",5,"myb3.jpg",false);
$sites[3]=array("http://www.s1.com","Text1",1,"myb4.jpg",true);

Step 2. Include the flag within the list
$mylist[]=array($sites[$i][0],$sites[$i][1],$sites[$i][3],$sites[$i][4]);

Step 3. Insert appropriate code depending upon the flag
echo "<a href='" . $mylist[$picker][0] . "'";
if( $mylist[$picker][0] == true ) {
echo " target='_blank'";
}
//--- finish of the rest of the HTML
echo "><img alt='" . $mylist[$picker][1] . "' src='" .
$mylist[$picker][2] . "' /></a>";
