I export my nodes fine, but when I import them, I have the magic quotes embedded in the data in the title and some other fields.

My magic quotes settings in php.ini are as follows (in which I did the export and import):

; Magic quotes
;

; Magic quotes for incoming GET/POST/Cookie data.
magic_quotes_gpc = On

; Magic quotes for runtime-generated data, e.g. data from SQL, from exec(), etc.
magic_quotes_runtime = Off

; Use Sybase-style magic quotes (escape ' with '' instead of \').
magic_quotes_sybase = Off

Is there anything I need to change? What is the correct settings/procedure I should be using?

I am largely unfamiliar with server and network administration.

There is a previous thread that dealt with this slightly #460756: Import: unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')' but it was never fully resolved.

I guess I too would like to know the correct settings for this, or what I can do to make it work for any settings.

The solution to my problem was to change the magic quotes settings in php.ini to the following

; Magic quotes for incoming GET/POST/Cookie data.
magic_quotes_gpc = Off

; Magic quotes for runtime-generated data, e.g. data from SQL, from exec(), etc.
magic_quotes_runtime = Off

; Use Sybase-style magic quotes (escape ' with '' instead of \').
magic_quotes_sybase = Off

After I set magic_quotes_gpc to off, I was able to export and import the data without a problem.

Yeah according to this they are not longer the thing to use

I know that doesn't real solve this module's compatibility with different environments - but I don't know what to do about it.
