Which clipboard, on a server side (as PHP works on server side)? But it would not make sense.
And you don't click on code... makes no sense at all...

No can do. You _can_ copy to the clipboard with JavaScript _if and only if_ using Internet Exploder er, I mean Explorer. But for a cross-browser solution, you need to use Flash.

Solution 1

cannot do it in php since php is server side
only IE allows to do it even in client side
a good solution would be to auto select [highlight] the code once you click on its container
and then ask user to copy it

This implementation I've seen in many sites offering code hosting
