If I read you correctly, you want done what I have done in the attached image. See where I added two buttons below the textarea in the screenshot? They would allow you to import PHP code snippets and/or export PHP code snippets so that if you had the plugin installed on another blog(or the same one at a later time), you could import those exported with this method. Is this what you want?
Sorry, I forgot to change permissions for the export and import folder. Is fixed now.
I've uploaded the final Modded plugin. Please see the modified readme file for troubleshooting installation and/or import/export issues of the modified plugin.
NOTE: I notice this site renames uploaded .zip files, so you'll need to rename the file to "php-code-for-posts" before using/uploading it.

Yes, and in a standardised format like xml or csv. As well as bringing the original code up to the 4.1 standards.
Ian Lincicome comments:
Okay, well for $30 I could add the code to make it work, but to be honest, I wouldn't know what to do in order to bring it up to 4.1 standards. Plus, in my opinion, $30 is hardly enough to add the import/export feature alone. I will be sure to make it work in version 4.1, but don't know about standards.
pjeaje comments:
Okay, as long as it works with 4.1 I'm happy with that. Thanks.
Ian Lincicome comments:
Okay, working on it then. Thanks.

UPDATE:
I just finished the proof of concept for the Export function, so I have half of it figured out. I've already been working on this for twelve hours and am only almost half done. It's going on 3am here so calling it a night. I will update you more tomorrow on progress. I just have a couple questions before I continue:
1) Do you have a specific deadline?
2) Is this for personal use or public?(do you own this plugin?) Just curious to know if I should tailor it more to your needs or more to the general public.
Talk soon,
Ian

I'd rather see a working demo thanks.
Ian Lincicome comments:
Okay I'll put it together asap.
Ian Lincicome comments:
Okay, I am finished and have a working demo. Is there a way to PM you details on this site? I will try and if not, let me know how to get you the WP login details to the test site.
Ian Lincicome comments:
Ok, sent you a PM with URL and login info. Let me know what you think.

It throws the error below when i try to export all the codes...
1) display all cats - ERROR! can't write ../wp-content/plugins/php-code-for-posts/exported_php_files/display_all_cats-28-12-2014_11-51-38.txt

It throws an error no matter how many code snippets are checked
pjeaje comments:
When I try to import 3 codes in the csv file it says 6 codes have been imported, however there are none visible.
pjeaje comments:
Thanks Ian, works well. Money awarded.
pjeaje comments:
I've voted you the $30. Can you send me the updated plugin please.
pjeaje comments:
Thanks for you help. As fate would have it [[LINK href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-exec-php/"]]I just found a plugin[[/LINK]] that does the same AND backs up the snippets in XML format :) Oh well...
