Remote plugin activation hook

I am remote activating plugins using update_option('active_plugins,'some_plugins'); It works fine except one thing: if some plugins have to create some tables using register_activation_hook(__FILE__,'activate'); it won't create them.

When I'm activating plugins normally in wp-admin/plugins.php it works fine. Any ideas how to remote execute this activation hook or maybe there is different way to better plugin activation?

Use activate_plugin() instead:

activate_plugin( $plugin, $redirect = '', $network_wide = false, $silent = false )

You need just the first parameter, the same value as in the option.

This function will call the necessary actions:

if ( ! $silent ) {
    do_action( 'activate_plugin', $plugin, $network_wide );
    do_action( 'activate_' . $plugin, $network_wide );
}

Note: depending on where you call activate_plugin function you might need to add this:

 include_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/plugin.php' );
