If the window was not opened with javascript, you might get a warning if you
try to close it.

The best (only?) way to close it in this situation is to spit out some
javascript after you process the $_POST:

<script type="text/javascript">
window.close();
</script>

and then exit your script. Your window will then close after the processing
has been done.
