<div class="gmail_extra">I got this blurb from Bluehost:<br><p>"Some versions of Drupal have begun to display this problem with
internal character escaping functionality. I suggest you contact their
support, community forums or documentation if you wish a final answer as
to the cause. Fixing the issue is very simple, you have two options
stop the escape characters from being inserted:</p>
<ol><li>
<p>Change to PHP 5.3 and update your Drupal installation to the most
recent version. This can be done in the PHP Config section of the
cPanel. Simply click on the radio button to the left of PHP 5.3 or PHP
5.3 Single (depending on which php.ini behavior you prefer) and then
save the changes.</p>
</li><li>
<p>You may also disable magic_quotes_gpc in the php.ini. This is done
by finding the php.ini that applies to your Drupal installation in the
File Manager, and Editing it. Once inside, search (the ctrl+f find
function is recommended) for the line magic_quotes_gpc=On and set this
variable to magic_quotes_gpc=Off</p>
</li></ol>
<p>Note, the magic_quotes_gpc line may exist more than once, if so, duplicates should be removed."</p><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 30, 2012 at 6:59 AM, Joel Willers <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:joel.willers@sigler.com" target="_blank">joel.willers@sigler.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

The cron process would run as the anonymous user from the crontab entry, I assume you have one setup in your cPanel.<br>

Generated by the cron run, which is OK.<br>

Generated by some module, I don't know if it is good or not.<br>

I don't see anything in the operation here that would cause the &quot; or \" entries. Note that \ is prepended to " before saving it in the DB via <a href="http://us3.php.net/mysql_real_escape_string" target="_blank">http://us3.php.net/mysql_real_escape_string</a> and is supposed to be in the DB data if that is where you are checking it.<br>
