passing a variable to a page, display address in browser?

[bobII]

I am currently using a form where a user can enter a page number. After the user enters a page number (value must be between 1-555) they click the 'Search' button and are taken to a page that displays the page (viewPage.php). This works well, the only problem is I want the address to display the actual page, for example page3.html and not viewPage.php.

Here is the code for viewPage.php:
<?php

$url = "http://urltosite.com/$input.html";
if ($input <= 555) {

	readfile($url); 

}
else {
print("<b><font color=#cc0000>Invalid Entry! Please enter a number between 1 and 555</font></b>");
}

?>

What do I need to change/add so that the browser will display the actual page and not viewPage.php. Could I use a case/switch statement? If so, how?

Thanks in advance,
bobII

Try

header('location:'.$url);

in place of

readfile($url);

This should redirect them to the actual page, not just read the content into the current page.
