I have a page with a dynamic address such as
http://www.example.com?ID=5

I have written a script to turn the page into a static html page with an address such as this
http://www.example.com/static_page.html

Everything works fine so far. The problem is, I want the html page above to include a line of php script such as this:
<?php include 'counter.php' ?>

I am trying to figure out how to output the above line to the html page so that the line will execute when the html page is loaded, rather than having the line merely print out as text as it does now.

(I have already configured my hosting service so that html pages will be evaluated for php code.)
