updating a mysql table automatically every week

how can this be done?

I've been trying to figure out how you can update an variable in a table once every week at the same exact time or same day.

Is this possible to do?

Examples are appreciated.

If you're on an apache server then take a look at cron [google.co.uk] which is designed to automate scripts - you can trigger a PHP script to update your database on any schedule you choose.

I don't quit understand "Cron" is there like a guide or tutorial that really good I can look at?
