Or he can add the following to an .htaccess file within the directory
containing phpmyadmin:

php_value magic_quotes_gpc On

This was the second of the two alternatives I offerred.  I failed to explain
that the first alternative was global in nature b/c I assumed some awareness
of php.ini's role and what .htaccess files are used for.  The .htaccess file
will only affect files in the directory containing the .htaccess file and
files within its subdirectories.  In this case that might be the preferable
alternative.
