One of DataLoad's most powerful features is a built-in script language that enables you to add and extend functionality. This may be a simple addition to a Macro or Forms Playback load, for example adding custom data validation, or the load itself may be written using a script, for example a load to enter data directly in to a database.
Rather than create a new proprietary language, DataLoad uses PHP. This is a widely used scripting language that can be easily picked up by anyone familiar with writing scripts. PHP also has an extensive function library so it can be used to extend DataLoad in a huge variety of ways.
