[SOLVED] MySQL queries

Question

Hey guys just a quick one.  So I made a sweet script to install a wp from a repo version I have on my server.  From there using SED it makes it it's own new install.  So I was able to do the creating of the database, user, and privileges easily using mysql -u <user> -p<pass> -e "command" for each of those steps.  However here comes where i'm stuck.  So I still need to do these steps
USE $name;
UPDATE d3_wp_options SET option_value='http://$domain' WHERE option_name='siteurl';
UPDATE d3_wp_options SET option_value='$name' WHERE option_name='blogname';
UPDATE d3_wp_options SET option_value='' WHERE option_name='blogdescription';
UPDATE d3_wp_options SET option_value='http://$domain' WHERE option_name='home';
However my issue is if I use the above mentioned format to fire mysql queries in the script it will use $name and then when going to the next one it won't be in that database.  So my next thought was using a sub-script and exporting $name and $domain into that script and from there using those variables in the sub-script and just use the -e mysql command.  Is there an easier way to do this with out having to go into a sub-script, like a way to use mysql -u <user> -p<pass> -e and string all of those commands together?

I'm not sure I understand your question.
If you are installing WP which runs in PHP would it not be easier to user PHP to do the installation? That way you could use an embedded procedure in the database and things would be easier.
I do not think you can open a connection to a DB with SED. Can you? And the only way I can see you keeping tabs on what tables/database you are calling is by having an embedded procedure at the DB level. Not to mention, it would be more secure and faster.
Just a thought.
