Close Window After Script Runs


When a user clicks on a link in their email, I have a browser window that opens in the background and runs a script confirming their desire to be added to our email directory. I basically want this window to open, run and then close without the user having to deal with it.

Is there a way in PHP to close the window after the script finishes running in it? Or should I revert to JavaScript? I want the script to be mobile so I've sort of ruled out processing it server side. TIA.

Close All Child Windows When Close The Main Window
From the main page, there are lots of links to open new window.

i.e. <a href="#" onClick="window.open('child1.html')">Open Child
Window</a>

If I close the main page, I want to close all child windows also. That means I need to keep track all handles of the child windows whenever I open a new window. Correct? any suggestions on the approach?

Session Still Exists If I Close The Window
I am using sessions in PHP for users to log in to their own accounts. All works perfectly well if the user enters their username and password that if correct creates a session and takes them to the main page of their account.

If they click on the logout.php link that destroys the session they can login again without any problem, but if they close the window then try and login again it seems the session has not been destroyed. I include a check in every page to make sure the session_id has been created so the page can be viewed.

If the user has closed the window without logging out correctly the session_id is not created once they login and are taken back to the login page. Has anybody else had problems with creating and destroying php sessions due to the closing of the window?
Here is the code to login: Code:

Preventing Window-close After Download
I use a php class to create pdf files ... but
when I download the created pdf, the browser window closes, and Acrobat
opens.

How do I prevent the closing of the original browser window? Maybe it has
something to do with cache, because most off the people using the website
don't have this problem.

Also , I need to use the session_cache_limiter('no-cache'); before I can use
the "open"-option after clicking on the download link.

ps: even if I use target="_blank" , both browser windows closes.

Form Submission & Close Window
I have a simple form that submits data to my database - easy stuff. But, I want to close the popup window after submission. Here's what I've done: PHP Code:

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="" onSubmit="window.close();">

<input type="text" name="email" value="1" />
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="update" class="textbox"/>
</form>

I have the INSERT statement on the same page, but I think the onSubmit="window.close();" stops the form data from reaching the insertion script. I tried putting the data inside a separate file too, but I still got the same results, the data does not reach the INSERT statement. How can I close the browser window after the data has been processed?

Bug 23891 MySQL Runs Out Of Connections
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=23891

According to this report, what the person was asking isn't a bug, it's
a feature (rimshot).

I'm running into this problem almost exactly, and really don't
understand what the answer is. The support person snidely suggests
reading the manual, which is always great advice, but in this case
really doesn't help out.

Could someone explain what "If you use mysql_select_db() or slightly
different connection string you can have more open connections then
you have process." means?

If I don't use mysql_select_db, then what do I use?

Query Runs Multiple Times Under Heavy Server Load.
I have been having an issue with some MYSQL queries running multiple times when the server is under a heavy load. 

Example, if I do an 'update Table1 set item1 = 0 where 1 = 1'

This runs fine under normal conditions, but will repeat itself multiple times when the server is under load.  Is this just an optimization or server resource issue.  If so, I would assume the query would just timeout and not run at all instead of running a few times.

Close Browser
In my login system, i want the user to properly log out when you close the browser. I can end all sessions, as they get deleted anyway, but i want it to change the users logeed in bit. This works by whenever a user logs in, it sends a query to a database and updates a table, then the users online box reads it and displays it. What happens is, the user closes the browser and the table stays the same. So it appers as the users is online but he actually isnt.
