This error may be caused by the disable_functions setting in php.ini (or suhosin.executor.func.whitelist is Suhosin is installed).

You can have a look here to override it : Overriding global php.ini file

We had a similar issue and were able to get results back using http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.passthru.php

same result :( returns null when call with passthru – osm Jun 08 '10 at 15:15
Make sure you give it a return arg. The passthru function doesn't return anything. passthru ('blah blah', $return); var_dump($return); – Nathan Hess Jun 08 '10 at 17:37
