I have a question, what should I enter in the clipboard_js.php file?

Something along those line could be used:

// minimal example of clipboard_js.php
// Very unsafe, at the very least it would be better safeguard and check file name, file type etc. 

// HTTP headers for no cache etc
header('Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8');
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");
header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", false);
header("Pragma: no-cache");


if(isset($_FILES['file'])) {
    // File upload directory

    // Get the filename
    $target_file = basename($_FILES["file"]["name"]);

    // Move the file to the uploads directory
    if (! move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $targetDir. DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $target_file)) {
        // Error uploading file
        echo "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
    }
    exit();
}
