Just read (don't know how to say it short)

What i would like to do is to insert into summary.html a line which says
<!-- reactions -->
(before this line I would create my table)
then, when a person gives a reaction, i would like to insert that reaction in a table as a new row. So, I would like to insert <td>$name \n reaction</td>. But how do I determine that I have reached the line that says that and how do I insert my reaction after this line(the part which comes after that line may not be removed)

I hope you understand what I meen

I think I understand what you mean here. Into summary.html I assume you have a table that looks a bit like this:
[tt]
<table>
<tr><td>This is a reaction!</td></tr>
</table>
[/tt]
and when someone wants to submit a reaction it gets entered as a new row. Put the comment in here:
[tt]
<table>
<tr><td>This is a reaction!</td></tr>
<!--reactions-->
</table>
[/tt]

and a line like this in your perl script should put in their reaction into a new row:
[tt]
while <FILE> {
s/<\!--reactions-->/<tr><td>$reaction</td></tr>\/n<\!--reactions-->\/n/;
}
[/tt]
where <FILE> is the file handle associated with summary.html. Someone will almost certainly have to correct my perl there

Whoops! Forgot this was the PHP forum. You would want to use ereg_replace:
[tt]
$file = ereg_replace (&quot;<!--reactions-->&quot;,$reaction, $file);
[/tt]
where $file is a variable containing the text of summary.html
