Get url for PageID on the fly for a block

Permalink
I have created a block that will (eventually) use a switch case to feed certain categories of content via ID to anywhere its used and based on the category the page has been assigned.

I have the content feeding through, but still stuck as to how you feed the unique page url into the switch case.

Any ideas? 
<?php switch($c->getAttribute('category_type')->getCategoryTypeID()){
    case 1: ?>
    <?php $list->filterByCategoryType(2); ?>
        <?php $pages = $list->getResults(); ?>
        <?php foreach($pages as $page) { ?>
            <h2><?php echo $page->getCollectionName(); ?></h2>
            <p><?php echo $page->getCollectionDescription();?></p>
            <p><a href="<?php      echo $url ?>" target="<?php      echo $target ?>">View more</a><p/>//this is the line I can't seem to figure out. 
            <?php } 
        break;
    case 2:
        echo 'display Category 2';
        break;
    case 3:
        echo 'display Category 1';
Viewing 15 lines of 19 lines. View entire code block.


Here is the code and to me this seems a noob problem, and yes, for the sake of argument, I am pretty new to this level of development with C5. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

this did it, for anyone needing help:

<p><a href="<?php echo \URL::to($page); ?>">View more</a><p/>
