How can PHP be used to merge data from two separate databases while maintaining data integrity and security measures?

To merge data from two separate databases in PHP while maintaining data integrity and security measures, you can establish connections to both databases, retrieve the data from each database, perform any necessary data transformation or validation, and then insert the merged data into a new or existing database table. 

<?php
// Establish connections to both databases
$database1 = new PDO('mysql:host=hostname1;dbname=database1', 'username1', 'password1');
$database2 = new PDO('mysql:host=hostname2;dbname=database2', 'username2', 'password2');

// Retrieve data from the first database
$query1 = $database1->query('SELECT * FROM table1');
$data1 = $query1->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

// Retrieve data from the second database
$query2 = $database2->query('SELECT * FROM table2');
$data2 = $query2->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

// Merge the data from both databases
$mergedData = array_merge($data1, $data2);

// Insert the merged data into a new or existing database table
foreach ($mergedData as $row) {
    // Perform any necessary data transformation or validation here
    $statement = $database1->prepare('INSERT INTO merged_table (column1, column2) VALUES (:value1, :value2)');
    $statement->execute(array(':value1' => $row['column1'], ':value2' => $row['column2']));
}

// Close connections to both databases
$database1 = null;
$database2 = null;
?>
