onclick= copyToClipboard: for php variable using JavaScript-CodePudding

So I use the following code in php to copy any div, but how can I edit the js code to copy a php variable in the page, like $bookid or $row[1] (or copy/echo two strings like $bookid . $row[1] with one click) etc.?

<button onclick="copyToClipboard('#div1')\">Copy</button>

js code:

function copyToClipboard(element) {
  var $temp = $("<input>");
  $("body").append($temp);
  $temp.val($(element).text()).select();
  document.execCommand("copy");
  $temp.remove();
}

CodePudding user response：

The text that gets copied here, is the content of the dynamically created input field. Currently that gets set by reading the text content of element - so that is the part that needs replacing.

function copyToClipboard(textToCopy) {
  var $temp = $("<input>");
  $("body").append($temp);
  $temp.val(textToCopy).select();
  document.execCommand("copy");
  $temp.remove();
}
