How to stop the setInterval using jQuery

I have a dropdown where I can select the time for the setInterval.

test.php:

 <select id="proc_id" class="multiselect custom processselect" name="proc_id" style="display: none;">
    <option>Select</option>
    <option value="0">0</option>
    <option value="1">1</option>
    <option value="2">2</option>
 </select>

If select "0" stop the executing the setinterval and 1 for 1 sec and 2 for 2 sec.

test.js

var set_time = 0;
var interval;

$('#proc_id').change(function() {
    set_time = $('#proc_id :selected').val();
    // alert((set_time));
    if(parseInt(set_time) > 0) {
        set_time= set_time * 1000;
        interval = setInterval(function() {
            getFileProcessList(start_date);
            getResultInfoList(start_date); 
        }, set_time);
    } 
    else {
        alert('bye');
        clearInterval(interval);
    }
});

If I selected the 0, it not clearing the interval. Please can anyone help how to stop the setInterval function?

You should clear the previous interval before start the new one. Your code should be updated like this

    var set_time = 0;
    var interval = 0;
    $('#proc_id').change(function(){
        set_time=$('#proc_id :selected').val();
        if(parseInt(set_time) > 0) {

            set_time= set_time * 1000;
            if (interval != 0) {
              // clear previous interval before start the new one
              clearInterval(interval);
            }
            interval = setInterval(function() {
                getFileProcessList(start_date);
                getResultInfoList(start_date);
            }, set_time);
        } 
        else {
            clearInterval(interval);
            interval = 0;
        }
    });

I've created a sample at this link https://jsfiddle.net/mhL907eo/1/, please check.
