Answer 1

The severity says "Notice", meaning they won't break your page but they indicate something else. In this case you probably haven't defined your variables before you use them.

try assigning a value to the variables like:

$s_race_category = "";
$s_programme = "";

You are seeing these notices because of the PHP error reporting level, you can read more about it here
