You can only close a window with javascript so you'll want to use this:
[code]echo "<script  type=\"text/javascript\">window.close();</script>";[/code]

If you need to close it after 5 seconds, you can use setTimeout()

[code]<script type="text/javascript">
setTimeout("window.close()" , 5000);
</script>[/code]
