I would like to open a window with a 5 second delay when a button is clicked. I'm trying:
<script type="text/javascript">
function sample() {
setTimeout(function() {
window.open('<?php echo esc_attr(wpcoupon_coupon()->get_go_out_url()); ?>', '_self');
}, 5000);
}
</script>
which I call in the onclick
attribute of the <button>
:
<button class="ui right labeled icon button btn btn_secondary" onClick="sample();">
<i class="copy icon"></i>
<span><?php esc_html_e('Copy', 'wp-coupon'); ?></span>
</button>
The problem is that <?php echo esc_attr(wpcoupon_coupon()->get_go_out_url()); ?>
doesn't return the correct value, and correct URL doesn't open.
What could be going wrong?

Is the page address correct?
esc_attr(wpcoupon_coupon()->get_go_out_url())
For test your script in php file use construction:
<?php
//php code
?>
<script>
function sample() {
setTimeout(function() {
window.open('<?php echo('https://google.com'); ?>', '_self');
}, 5000);
}
</script>
<button class="ui right labeled icon button btn btn_secondary" onClick="sample();">test</button>
<?php
//php code
?>

You need ajax to read that php variable asynchronously from javascript. Otherwise i think your question is better answered here:
