I always use META redirects for this (trying to avoid anything but PHP
whatever it takes) ... but I believe there are other ways ...

I don't think it gets any simpler than the JavaScript:

// method 1
<a href="javascript:window.close()">Close window</a>

// method 2
<a href="#" onClick="window.close()">Close window</a>

Not entirely sure how cross-browser compatible this is. May have to use
this.window.close() or windows.close(this) ... I can't remember the exact
syntax, sorry, haven't worked much with JavaScript except for mouseovers in
several years....
