Said Javascript would look like

<script language="Javascript">
window.close();
</script>

or,

echo "<script language=\"Javascript\">";
echo " window.close();";
echo "</script>";


or do this and wait until the user gets bored and closes the browser
themselves, or IE crashes.

while (true)
{
echo "x";
}
