无法将php变量分配给脚本

Question

So i am using this script to copy text to the clipboard that needs to be compatible with firefox and chrome at a minimum.

https://github.com/lgarron/clipboard.js

Basically i have some html stored in a php variable and im trying to copy that to the clipboard.The other way i could do it is to copy the contents of a div to the clipboard but basically same result

<script src="js/clipboard.js"></script>

<script>
    document.getElementById('markup-copy').addEventListener('click', function() {
        var val = '<?php echo $myText ?>';
        clipboard.copy({
            'text/plain': 'Paste this into a HTML editor.',
            'text/html': val;
        }).then(
        function(){console.log('success'); },
        function(err){console.log('failure', err);
        });

    });
</script>";

Ive also tried doing the same but echoing the string directly i.e

'text/html': '<?php echo $myText ?>';

The script does print out the actual string of html however when i copy it to the clipboard all i see is:

<?php echo $myText ?>

So even though the page translates the above to the string, this script doesnt seem to. Any ideas?

The $myText variable is a string with and some basic HTML, no php.

I want to avoid using a flash based solution however if this simply wont work then ill settle to do it in flash.

Answer 1

replace

var val = '<?php echo $myText ?>';

to

var val = <?php echo $myText; ?>
