Pass variables from one Bash script to another after SSH - bash

Question

Okay, so I am new to bash scripting, about 2 whole hours and I'm banging my head against a wall. I need to carry some variables from one script to another and can't seem to get it to work.
This works fine
script1.sh
echo "Enter your name"
read name
export name
./script2.sh
sript2.sh
echo $name
This does not
script1.sh
echo "Enter your name"
read name
export name
ssh $user#$domain "bash -s" < ./script2.sh
sript2.sh
echo $name
The code is dumb, I get that but basically what I want to do is pass database variables to script 2 to use on the server I've SSH'd into. I would do this all in one script but it seems the only way that I can get the server commands to run is to call a second script after the login, otherwise it runs the server commands locally and fails. I'm doing this from a Mac if that makes any difference at all.
Help?
** Update with more legitimate code ****
login.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo "Enter server username:"
read user
echo "Enter server domain"
read domain
echo "Enter your password"
read password
echo "Enter database name"
read database
export database
export user
export domain
export password
ssh $user#$domain "bash -s" < ./create_files.sh
create_files.sh
#!/bin/bash
cd public_html
tar -zcvf test.tar.gz test.html
echo "db:"$database
mysqldump -u $user -p"$password" $database > $database.sql
The goal here is to use the details from login.sh in create_files.sh after this is done I also need to use the login details to scp the created files back to my local machine. Hope this clarifies the problem.

When invoking ssh, it creates a new shell process which is not inheriting the new variables that you exported in the first script. Instead, try adding them as commandline parameters to the second script, like so:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Enter server username:"
read user
echo "Enter server domain"
read domain
echo "Enter your password"
read password
echo "Enter database name"
read database
ssh $user#$domain "bash -s" < ./create_files.sh "$user" "$password" "$database"
Then modify your second script to look like this:
#!/bin/bash
cd public_html
tar -zcvf test.tar.gz test.html
echo "db:$3"
mysqldump -u "$1" -p"$2" "$3" > "$3".sql
