php counting button clicks

I making a tic tac toe game I have this button, but I could like to count the number of times a user clicks it that way I can use it as my tie game condition when clicks = 8 and no winner has been determined. How do I pass and increment the number of times I click this button?

do I use the javascript onclick event?

print('<input type="submit" name="submit_button" value = "Go">');


if(isset($_POST[submit_button])) 
{
do stuff

}

PHP won't solve your problem here, as it is only server side. Declare a variable numClicks in your JavaScript, and change the input to this: 

<input type="submit" name="submit_button" onclick="increaseClicks()" value = "Go">

Then you can define increaseClicks to be

function increaseClicks(){
    numClicks++;
    if(numClicks >= 8){
        //dostuff
    }
}
