[SOLVED] How to add 1 to a row without knowing the number?

I hope this isn't confusing, i don't know how to ask this question. Heres my explanation and question:

 

I want to add 1 to an integer on a mysql update. first is there a way to do this without SELECTing the data, adding 1, and then UPDATEing the data.

 

Basically I want to add 1 to a column and update in one query instead of two.

 

My query so far:

mysql_query("UPDATE Offers as o, Members as m SET o.entries = '".$entries."'+1 WHERE m.user_name = '".$_GET['user_name']."'") or die(mysql_error());

 

the problem is that I will never know what the $entries value is unless I select it from the db first.
