         "<h3>User information</h3>";
        $_SESSION['identity'] = $openid->identity;

        $attributes = $openid->getAttributes();
        $_SESSION['email'] = $attributes['contact/email'];
        $_SESSION['first_name'] = $attributes['namePerson/first'];
        $_SESSION['last_name'] = $attributes['namePerson/last'];


        /* "mode: " . $openid->mode . "<br>";
         "identity: " . $identity . "<br>";
         "email: " . $email . "<br>";
        "first_name: " . $first_name . "<br>";
         "last_name: " . $last_name . "<br>";*/


    }
    else
    {
        echo 'User ' . $openid->identity . 'has not logged in.';
    }


    echo "<script>window.close();</script>";
    echo '<script>window.opener.location.href="index2.php"</script>';



 }
    } catch(ErrorException $e) {
     echo $e->getMessage();
}
?>

What does "not working" mean? – jchapa Feb 27 '13 at 05:52 — jchapa, Feb 27 '13 at 05:52

i believe window.close() is not working in chrome for you. Once i faced the problem i fixed the problem using

replace window.close(); with the code below

window.open('', '_self', ''); //simple bug fix
window.close();

Also try putting the this

echo '<script>window.opener.location.href="index2.php"</script>';
echo "<script>window.open('', '_self', '');window.close();</script>";

Hope it works for you too.

if not please be more specific about the question

You don't need two echo lines/script blocks for that. – rekire Feb 27 '13 at 06:11
