Dear List -

How do I close the browser window, with a script [shell or Perl],
after I exit PHP?

Thanks.

Thank you.

I probably did state my question correctly. Let's try again...

I have two(2) browser tabs open. One is a Google
search and the other is my PHP script. When my
PHP script exits, I want that tab to close.

Sorry for any confusion.

Ethan:

PHP runs before the browser reads the result. As such, if PHP closed
the window when it exited, then there would not be an open window for
the user to see.

I suggest you re-think what you are trying to do. In fact, if you
simply state what you are trying to do, it might be a better way to
get our opinion.

Cheers,

If you are trying to do some automation type stuff you might want to look at
something like Robo Task -
http://www.robotask.com/

You can schedule a browser open to specified URL's (php script) and have it
close the window handle after the page is loaded.
