Can I stop a page being displayed until the whole script has been parsed?

Not easily.  PHP4 will have support for output buffering.

In the meantime, you can accumulate your data in an array, and then
output the array conditionally. Replace your "echo" or "print" commands
with:

 $line[] = 

and then when you figure out you need to redirect, just redirect; else
loop over $line and echo every row.

It's a low-tech solution, but it works.
