readfile ()

I am using the readfile ("something.html or php3"); However, if I do a readfile ("testing.php3"); and testing.php3 has a connection to a MySQL database and queries the database, it does not perform these functions, since it just reads in the page. Is there anyway to have it read it in, and perform the php3 functions that are within the readfile page.
