PHP app built with GitHub Copilot? Let’s review it.
Expert code review for PHP apps built with GitHub Copilot. We find GitHub Copilot-specific bugs, fix PHP security issues, and optimize performance. From $19.
GitHub Copilot issues we find in PHP projects
Problems specific to GitHub Copilot's code generation patterns when building PHP apps.
Insecure code patterns from training data
Copilot sometimes suggests patterns from its training data that are known to be insecure — like using eval(), innerHTML, or outdated crypto functions.
Hardcoded secrets in suggestions
Copilot occasionally suggests placeholder API keys or credentials that look real and get committed to version control.
Inconsistent code style across files
Different completions use different patterns — sometimes callbacks, sometimes async/await, sometimes .then(). The codebase becomes inconsistent over time.
Subtly incorrect logic
Copilot completions often look correct but contain off-by-one errors, wrong comparison operators, or missed edge cases that cause intermittent bugs.
PHP issues we check for
Common PHP problems that affect production readiness.
SQL injection vulnerabilities
Direct variable interpolation in SQL queries instead of prepared statements or query builders, allowing attackers to read or modify database contents.
Cross-site scripting (XSS)
User input echoed directly into HTML without htmlspecialchars() or template engine escaping, enabling script injection attacks.
Insecure file uploads
File upload handlers that only check MIME types without validating file content, allowing PHP shell uploads and remote code execution.
Deprecated function usage
AI tools generate code using deprecated functions like mysql_query, ereg, and create_function that are removed in modern PHP versions.
