How to call php script and close popup window at the same time?

[Awanka]

I have a php popup window that I want to do 2 things.  I want it to call the php script campExport.php and also close itself at the same time.  Can anyone help me?

 

===============

 

 

echo "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=\"JavaScript\"> window.close();</script>";

header('location:campExport.php');

<?php
echo "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=\"JavaScript\"> window.location='campExport.php'; window.close();</script>";
?>

Don't know if I did understand the question correctly, as I don't know why the window.close is there. Anyway it seems a javascript question.

I have a php popup window

 

There is no such thing. PHP runs on the server, pop-ups and windows run on the client.

It's a popup window that's opened using javascript, but it's contents are primarily php.  Here's the line that calls it.

 

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="openPopup('recentCampSettingsExcel.php', 'recentCampSettingsExcel', 600, 500)"><b>(Export to Excel)</b></a>

 

 

My problem remains unchanged.  I need the popup window to simultaneously redirect to another php page, and also close itself.

Why redirect if your just going to close the window?

 

You need to perform the window close in the page you are redirected to.

How would I do that?  Is there some kind of opener.close() javascript function I can use?  I would prefer to use one that doesn't use an echo statement.
