Friday the 13th

Hi,
Past Friday 13, our site for some reason stopped functioning. At first I myself not a php programmer spent all night and figured out the problem with session flushing and was able to fix the bug with "ob start" and "ob flush" functions.
All php pages were designed my a professional php programmer and worked perfectly until a week ago. Page after page since Friday stopped working properly and I asked my friend to examine the script. He is a good C programmer, but was able to find a new line in some of our pages which was not there before:
passthru($cmd);"
Could someone please let me know what this line is intended to do.
I received several calls from my clients that right after they placed an order on our website their credit card information was stolen and someone made unauthorized charges.
