Hmmmm, it looks like a half an attempt at exploiting a vulnerable php script someplace, but without much success...
The Planet is a dedicated server hosting facility, thousands of computers are within this facility and upon each computer there can be anywhere from a few to several hundred web sites... Any one of these could be responsible, meaning it is being probed by someone for a vulnerability (and the vulnerability may exist) and you're one of the unfortunate recipients of the stray 'hits' that get sent out some kind of way, not quite sure how it all works... But to track it down, and if it's just a few hits, I wouldn't worry about it a whole lot, it is doubtful your server is compromised and sooner or later the admin of the server that is should catch wind of it, so...
My apologies for the annoyance, I get this bs, too.
