If you want to insert a web page in your current web page:

would include[^] fit your needs?

If you want to open a new page in a new window after clicking a link, probably the syntax used by CP would help you:

<a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.include.php">include</a>[<a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.include.php" target="_blank" title="New Window">^</a>]

PHP is server-side... I don't know if it can close your page but probably it won't...

Instead you could use javascript:

echo '<a href="javascript:window.close();">CLOSE WINDOW</a>';

Hope this helps.

PS: Google is your friend.

As far as I know PHP can't be used to open new tabs automatically. Instead I would recommend using JavaScript.

JavaScript

<script type="application/javascript">
window.onload = function()
{
    window.setTimeout(function() {
        window.open("http://www.google.com");
    }, 2000);
}
</script>

The "setTimeout" function executes after a given number of milliseconds, 2000 in this case.
Depending on the user's browser preferences the url will either be opened in a new window or in a new tab.
