Opening a file from a directory with a directory populated list

I have a drop down list which is populated from a directory on my server, I want to be able to select an item from the list and it will either download or open the file.

This is my code so dfar:

List.php

<div align="center">
<form name="marketingpages">
<select name="menu" onChange="top.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;" value="GO" id="marketinglist">
      <option value="" selected="selected">-----</option>
  <?php 
       foreach(glob(dirname(__FILE__) . '/policies/*') as $filename){
       $filename = basename($filename);
       echo "<option value='" . $filename . "'>".$filename."</option>";
    }
?>

</select>
</form>
</div>

When I select an item from the list though I'm just directed to a page where I get the message "Object Not Found" and the URL doesn't contain the sub directory 'policies' which is referenced in the code.

Can anyone help?

You didn't add policies in the option.value. Try this:

echo "<option value='policies/" . $filename . "'>".$filename."</option>";
