Chaining SSH commands via PHP

Question

I am running a SSH2 command via PHP and am trying to chain the commands to answer the password prompts from the bash script I run.

wget url-to-bash-script
bash name-of-file.sh

After this it will prompt for

MySQL Password:

And:

Retype password:

It will then proceed to install the packages for LAMP

I have tried something like this with no luck;

$ssh->exec( "wget URL;bash installLAMP.sh; password; password");

Thanks!

How about "wget URL; printf 'password\npassword\n' | bash installLAMP.sh" — tom
