Hi Luc,
Well I've never used the ldap_sync / ldap_server extensions. But if the
functionality you want is included in those extensions you should have a
close look at the php-classes provided by these extensions. Maybe there
is a class that does exactly what happens when you press the button.
(Using a php debugger should help you to figure that out).
If there is a class that does the trick you could write a php script
that uses this class. The class should not have any "graphical" HTML
output ideally (and if, it should'nt matter). So you can start your own
php script (which has no "graphical" HTML-output either) via the php
command line interface (on windows + php4 it is php/cli/php.exe). See
the php documentation for further details.
Once you can start the sync from command line you are also able to put
this command into a scheduled task (directly or via a batch file).
Best regards,
Henning
