PHP code to close popup window

rvpals

Hi,

When a user enter something into a popup window I created, after I process the input, I want my code to automatically close that popup window after it's done.

For example, I pop up a window for a user to enter his name, after he enter his name in my pop up window form, and hit submit, the name is inserted into my database, then I want to close that pop up window after the data is inserted into database.

Is there a PHP command to close popup window?

TIA

No. Im afraid you missunderstand how php works. PHP runs on the server, browsers, new windows, and pop-ups all happen on the client.

No, its Javascript

<a href="javascript:window.close();">close this window</a>

self.close also works
