Auto-closing browser - possible?

[CHeighlund]

I've been requested to write a PHP page as a sort of 'form viewer' for a set of forms designed in Delphi. The page acts as a microform of its own - it displays the information drawn from the Delphi side (via a database), then a 'submit' button at the bottom of the form. Hitting submit causes it to display the same thing, only this time, it also prints everything into a file that will be emailed elsewhere for review and evaluation.

My boss has requested that I find a way to close the page automatically after the 'write file' portion occurs. Is this possible with PHP? And if so, where would be a good place to look up how to do this?

No. Since PHP works on the Server it has no interaction with the browser. You would need to use Javascript to do that.

forum216. I'm sure the guys over there can be of assistance.

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

Look for Javascript window.close() method.
