RSS Component for CakePHP 2.x

RssComponent for CakePHP 2.x

---

This component allows you to read (external) RSS feeds and use their data in your own application.
For example, if you would like to show the latest news of a site that is of interest to your audience,
you can use this component to fetch the latest articles of their feed to publish in your app.

CODE EXAMPLE

1. Implement the component into your controller by using:

public $components = array(‘Rss’);

2. Call the component in your controller, to fetch the items from an RSS feed. For example if you want to set the $news array, containing the contents.

public function beforeRender() {
  try {
    $newsItems = $this->Rss->read('http://example.com/feed');
  } catch(InternalErrorException $e) {
    $newsItems = null;
  }
  
  $this->set('news', $newsItems);
}
