That MySQL example on the page is just awful.  I've seen some written
this way but with large warning boxes below the example that explicitly
say this method is insecure and only intended to show a process flow
(checking against a count of users).

Doesn't matter the language, the basic concept of sanitizing user input
should be universal whether by using sanitizing functions, stored
procedures for DBs, casting or anything else.
