Class Details

[line 18]
As the name suggests, this is a simple class for fetching RSS data

from remote sources. It consists, so far, of a single method, fetch(), which retrieves the source, and handles caching for you as well, using the saf.Database.PropertySet package for doing so (a simple but effective cache).

If you require post-rendering caching, that's for you to handle.

Class Methods

method fetch [line 35]

object &fetch(
string
$url, [mixed
$expires = 'auto'])

Fetches a remote XML document and returns an object structure parsed by SloppyDOM. Returns false if there is a parsing error, and sets the $error property with the error message.

$expires can be set to either 'auto' (the default), which tries to discover the cache duration based on the syn:updatePeriod and syn:updateFrequency values in the feed itself, and defaults to 1 hour (3600 seconds) if they are not present. If $expires is set to a number, that is used as the number of seconds to cache the feed for.
