Automatically closing a window - how to do?

[CHeighlund]

I've been requested to write a php page that will allow the user to review data from a submitted form (data generated elsewhere), verify the data, then submit it. My boss has requested that if possible, I should also force the browser window to close after the submission.

I was informed on the php page that this action was impossible in php (server side only), and directed here for further assistance.

As things currently stand, I need to allow the (post-submission) php page to completely finish loading, but then immediately after that, I need to tell the form to close. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I would go about setting this up?

If the window is opened with window.open method then you can also close it with window.close()
