Now I would like to close the window in my php code if a line is
executed e.g. an echo statement. What syntax do I use to execute
window.close()?

While Garlington is correct in a very literal sense, if you echo out
window.close(theWindow) you will be able to close the window if you
open it with

(I think) :) I've not tested it as I'm not at my PC :)

ooh wait a minute, if you're echoing out from PHP you'll be refreshing
the page and therefore losing the window handle "theWindow", I would
suggest using ajax to accomplish what you want to do in php that way
you maintain state on the page and can close the window
