Is it possible to redirect user from jquery loaded php file?

I want the user to be redirected when a php file is loaded through jquery

Example

$(form).submit(function(){
event.preventDefault();
    $("#div").load("phpfile.php");
});

The PHP file contains: header('Location: ...');

but when the php file is loaded,nothing comes up when I add the header there... Otherwise the result is ok and is loaded to the assigned div. Is there any possible way to redirect user from loaded php file? Thanks.

If you need conditional redirect I would suggest you return a json response:

The various responses would look something like:

{"redirect":false, "html":"success message html", "url": ""}
// OR
{"redirect":true, "html":"", "url": "/new/url"}

Then use $.getJSON instead of load()

$.getJSON('phpfile.php', function(response){
     if(response.redirect){
        window.location = response.url;
      }else{
        $('#div').html(response.html);
      }
}).fail(function(){ alert('Ooops we got a problem'); });
