Closing a window

[Anon]

Hi,
I have a simple problem, I have a button which opens a php page using window.open. Now I need to do some processing on the page, which includes taking in inputs from the user and saving them to a database. After this I would like the window to close.

I get the window open and the processing done, now how do I close the window using php.

Hi Aly,

You could try this:

<?
execute_php_code();
if ($execute_successful) }
echo "<script>";
echo "window.close();";
echo "</script>";
}
?>

Yes but this is not very friendly.

Why not attach the window.close() script to a button saying 'Close' or 'OK'.

You can then give the user a 'thank you' or the result of the processing and they can close the window at their leisure.

Cheers,

Cris
