Anyway, Ajax is usually used to open an external file into a div, and it uses a form to send the request. What I want to do is trigger a php script to run when someone clicks a certain anchor URL. I guess you would call it my own stats attempt. So I have no form, and nothing to be displayed on the current page because the user is going to URL from the click. Please be gentle with me -- but what am I missing and is it at all possible, Ajax or not?

Sure. Here's an excerpt of something similar using xAjax in a project I'm working on now:

/* HTML */
<a href="javascript:void(null)"
   onclick="this.blur();
           div_off('id_add_note_off');
           xajax_load_contact_notes_server('id_view_note',
            'id_view_note_on', {$notes[i].contact_note_id});
           return false;">
  <img src="/images/icons/edit.gif" border="0" alt="edit"></a>


/* PHP */
function load_contact_notes_server($container_id, $div_id, $contact_note_id)
{
    global $trms;

    $ajax_response = new xajaxResponse();

    // Load vendor

list($results, $message) = admin_get_contact_notes($trms, $contact_note_id, true);

    // ....

$ajax_response->assign($container_id, 'innerHTML', $trms->fetch('view_contact_note.tpl'));
    $ajax_response->call('div_on', $div_id);

    return $ajax_response;
}
