SUM SQL value to increment values per session - php

Question

This is very awkward, this is a very simple fetch value, equal to otherwise sum one and then save... but is not working...
I have a predefined value as 1010, so, I select the last entry in the SQL, if the last entry is grater than 1010 then get the value and add 1, then save it which now the last value would be 1011 correct? but is not....
$values_b = 1010;
$getval = 'SELECT number FROM table ORDER BY number DESC LIMIT 1';
$final = $con->query($getval);
$vals = $final ->fetch_array();
$numbers = $vals['number'];
if ($numbers > 1010){
$new_n = $numbers + 1;
$new_numbers = 'INSERT INTO table (number) VALUES ('$new_n')';
$con->query($new_numbers);
} else {
$new_numbers = 'INSERT INTO table (number) VALUES ('$values_b')';
$con->query($new_numbers);
}
Very simple, but the result some how is awkward, it doesn't save 1010 or 1011 or any of the sort... instead is saving 2325 and why is that???? I don't use this values anywhere else, those are unique variables but I really don't understand, this is the first time this is happening, my table is utf-8-general-ci and the column is INT(20) I have try VARCHART(100) but the result is almost the same...
What I'm trying to achieve is "simple", I have a per-defined number 1010, so, if this is the first record save that number 1010, if not, then get the last record say 1020 which mean that there are 10 records, just sum 1 to the last record 1020 + 1 = 1021 and save it... see, very simple, but for some reason is not doing it... so I was wondering if someone can help me solve this...
Thank you for taking the time
SOLVED
The problem here was the query, I was calling to a column with the incorrect name
this table has about 19 columns, the first 5 are
ID | Name | email | numbers ..... the column 16 is | number |
I was calling number when in reality I should be calling for NUMBERS the result that I was getting was from another file, so, in other words, I was getting the result from B and adding 1 to B when I should be using A...
this is entirely my fault, I should paid more attention... sorry guys...

Try this:
$values_b = 1010;
$getval = 'SELECT max(number) as bignumber FROM table';
$final = $con->query($getval);
$vals = $final ->fetch_array();
$numbers = $vals['bignumber'];
if ($numbers > 1010){
$new_n = $numbers + 1;
$new_numbers = 'INSERT INTO table (number) VALUES ('$new_n')';
} else {
$new_numbers = 'INSERT INTO table (number) VALUES ('$values_b')';
}
$con->query($new_numbers);
