Button to automatically insert text into bottom of post.

[Cedric_FP]

How would I go about automatically inserting text into the bottom of a post via editing the post at the click of a button?

The text inserted could be a time-stamp for example.

I've got no problem automatically editing a first post with a user's reply and then deleting that reply (similar to Paul M's double post prevention hack) but that has to go through the reply field first.

What I want to do is bypass the reply field and simply have the button insert a time-stamp into the bottom of a post (the post to which the button is connected).

I mean is it possible to have a button link to a php file that performs the operation and then refreshes the page?

Or would I go through some edit post function? Or create-->merge-->delete?
