Is there a way to decrease the value in a table by 50% (whole numbers only) at a specific time each week?

I have a table that counts the # of hits that a product receives. Each week, I want this # to decrease by 50% every 7 days.

How would I do this?

Hmmm yes possibly possible (interesting sentence really )

If you record the clicks as update and with a timestamp.

$sql "UPDATE ".$xoopsDB->prefix('table_name')." SET click = click + 1 AND time = NOW() WHERE ID = $id"'";
$result = $xoopsDB->queryF($sql);


Then make a function something like this..

function XX_HalfClicks () {
global 
$xoopsDB;
$sql "UPDATE * FROM ".$xoopsDB->prefix('mytable')." WHERE time = DATE_SUB(NOW(),INTERVAL -1 week) SET click = click/2";
$result=$xoopsDB->queryF($sql);
}



Something like this. The function could forinstance be in the header or something like this (just check the code though, It was simply as an example, I havenet checked if it work or anything :)
