If I cut out the bad section and replace it with PVC, what is the proper way to connect it?
There is an adapter that goes from copper to PVC at any plumbing store. Lowe's or Home Depot doesn't carry them. Not enough volume for them. But check a real plumbing outlet. They'll know.
use a fernco adaptor, rubber, has a hose clamp on each end. Lowe's, Home Depot and alot of others carry them, look in the plumbing section. I suggest replacing as much of the copper pipe as you can, if it's that weak in one section, the rest is on borrowed time.

If it is just a drain with no pressure then you should be able to use rubber couplings at both ends to join the copper to pvc. If you are unfamiliar just ask someone at your local hardware store and they will know what you are talking about. I hope this helps.
