如何在点击按钮时停止计时器并在php javascript中获取计时器值

var n = 60;
setTimeout(countDown, 1000);
function countDown(){
    n--;
    if (n > 0){
        setTimeout(countDown, 1000);
    }
    //alert(n);
    document.getElementById("div_timer").innerHTML = n; 
}            

this is my code for count down timer. when clicking the submit button, i need to stop the counter running and should return the counter value. please help...

Instead of using setTimeout, use setInterval and assign it to a variable, so you can clear it with clearInterval by passing the variable you therefore defined as argument.

For example :

var n = 10; 
var f = setInterval(function() { 
    console.log("foo"); 
    n--; 
    if (n<=0) { 
        clearInterval(f) 
    }
}, 1000);

Then in your button click handler, just do a

clearInterval(f) 

and you'll get the right n value.

Also note that the first step of the interval is occuring after 1s in my example, which technically makes n reaches 0 after 11s, not 10.

For the following, as your title is a bit weird (javascript php ?), after you get the n value, do an Ajax request to some php-server with n value as a parameter. But I think this should belong to another question.
