Switching themes using wordpress plugin

I am working on a wordpress plugin which allows user to enter name of four themes using four text boxes. Then based on some condition, at one point one theme out of the 4 gets activated.Then after some time based on some condition other theme gets activated.

if(condition_one) {

Activate Theme1

}

else if(Condition_Two)

{

Activate Theme2

}

etc.

I tried using the below method.

    update_option('current_theme','ThemeName');
update_option('template','ThemeName');
update_option('stylesheet','ThemeName');

The themes are actually getting changed but is this the correct way to do it. Am i considering all the fields in the wp_options table. Is there a way using which by just passing the theme name all the relevant fields get updated.

Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

The correct way is to use the switch_theme function: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/switch_theme
