This is more than likely a disparity between the error_level settings on your local server and the ISP's server. There's a couple of things you can do about this: (1) turn error_reporting up on your test server to E_ALL, and rewrite to eliminate all the warnings; this is technically probably the best solution, but the most work. (2) put an error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE) at the start of all your scripts. (3) persuade your ISP to turn down the default error reporting on their server -- there's really no reason to have notice-level messages turned on on a production site. (Personally, I'd say that a production site shouldn't send *any* PHP errors to the browser -- they should either be turned off completely, or sent to a logfile for you to peruse periodically.)
