When I started with PHP over a decade ago I was using PDO and not MySQLi.

I think there's a lot of old code that perhaps should not be used by Copilot as a reference, given how some programming languages have changed quite a bit over time when it comes to the best way of doing certain things.

Yeah, that was always one of the big problems with PHP. Google search would produce these old tutorials full of SQL injection code. I think there was a community effort to clean these up, so (un)fortunately we have AI to bring them back.
