Auto Close Window
Hi there.
I was wondering if it is possible to Automatically close the current window with PHP. My idea is this...
header("location: FILE");
[SCRIPT TO CLOSE WINDOW]
Because the code will be used on a popup window. and when it starts the Header file, it will close the popup. with me?
The script should work like this:
window.close()
'
Or, I would be even happier with something that works like a double header. It redirects to 2 urls at once. The download file, and the thank you page.
Thanks in advance

You can't make changes to the browser properties (window size, popup, close) with PHP because PHP is a server-side script. You will have to do it using JavaScript. All you have to do is echo (or print) that JavaScript statement you have in your post.

yes, I thought that. I have had to use javascript like you said. I used 2 functions, both opened by a single hyperlink.
