You could, perhaps, cheat a bit. When your script has finished running,
output as the last lines something as;
<script> document.window.close() </script>
Not entirely sure if that would still prompt a browser warning about
"are you sure you want to close", though. But that's about the only way
you can get this done, have your PHP send a signal (being: javascript or
HTML output) back to your browser to be processed.
