close active window

sane993

is it possible to close the active window in a php script seeing you can't usde javascript with it. and I can't go back into html because I'm in an if statment then needs to close the window before it exits the if statment example:

if(var == value)
{
close.window;
}

<body>
VAR != VALUE cause i'm being printed.

any ideas?

Try


<?
if(var == value) 
{ 
?>

<script language=JavaScript>
window.close(); 
</script>

<?
} 

?>
VAR != VALUE cause i'm being printed.

strange i didn't think you do that. anyway thanks for the help man.

can someone please verify this because i wrote this:

<?php
If ($mess == "")
{
....

<?php
}

?>

And everytime the page loads no matter whether $mess has a value or not the window.close's

So could someone verify that you can use javascript in the same way i did up there

It works for me, but I'm missing the closing ?> for your first php section ( before JavaScript ). When it is added, it works.

Have you tried setting $mess on the run to test it? It sounds like $mess is losing its value, to me.

<?php
echo ("Value of mess before: $mess");
$mess="test";
If ($mess == "")
{
?>

about the closing ?> tag i just forgot when i was whipping up that script...i will try to set $mess to a value to test like you said MrAlaska.
