if ($rowcount==0)
{
echo "<p>Wrong Username or Password Dufus</p>";
}
else
{
$_SESSION['U'] = $result_1[U];
$_SESSION['P'] = $result_1[P];
print 'Location: Main_Mockup.php';
}

And then your Javascript needs to do something like this:

var $result = (result from AJAX request as string);
if ($result.match( /^Location\:/i ))
{
var $url = $result.replace( /^Location\:\s+/i, '' );
window.location.href = $url;
}
else
{
// Display the message like you already do.
}

The redirection is the Javascript's job here, not PHP's. The PHP just
needs to tell the Javascript where to redirect to.
