Replace Stub Values In One Group Of Files With Actual Values From Another Group Of Files
I have two directories of files (new-config-files and old-config-files):

Code:
new-config-files/this-db/config.inc.php
new-config-files/that-db/config.inc.php
new-config-files/old-db/config.inc.php
new-config-files/new-db/config.inc.php
new-config-files/random-database/config.inc.php
etc.

old-config-files/this-db/config.inc.php
old-config-files/that-db/config.inc.php
old-config-files/old-db/config.inc.php
old-config-files/new-db/config.inc.php
old-config-files/random-database/config.inc.php
etc.

Example snippet of old file:
Code:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'test-user';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'test-user-password';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['only_db'] = 'test-data';

Example snippet of new file:
Code:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'DB-USER';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'DB-PASSWORD';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['only_db'] = 'DB-DATABASES';

I'd like to replace only the stub values (i.e., DB-USER, DB-PASSWORD, DB-DATABASES) in the new config files with the corresponding actual values (i.e., test-user, test-user-password, test-data) from the old config files.

It might also be good to know how to do this when there are no stub values, but only different values that should be replaced.
