Your PHP installation has its error reporting set far too high. It is
showing notices of undefined variables (the PHP passthru script does not
need this), a setting which should only be used during the development
stage. Set it to only show actual errors (it's one of the settings in
PHP.ini). PHP recommends that you disable displaying of errors and notices
on public servers anyway, since it can give away sensitive information about
your server configuration that could make it easier for crackers to gain
access to it.

Bill,

Then your host is leaving you open to cracking :)
A lot of hosts do this, so it's not surprising. There is a way around it;
secure the individual script. Stick this at the top of the PHP (on the
first line after the <?php tag):

ini_set( 'display_errors', '0' );

or

ini_set( 'error_reporting', 0 );
