# amSimplePiePlugin

The purpose of this plugin is to facilitate the use of SimplePie
within a Symfony project:

* it allows you to autoload the SimplePie class
* it uses the Symfony cache directory


## Installation

### Install the plugin

    php symfony plugin:install amSimplePiePlugin

### Clear you cache

    php symfony cc


## Using the plugin

``new amSimplePie()`` has the same behavior as ``new SimplePie()``,
without the ``$cache_location`` parameter.

    $am_sp = new amSimplePie();
    $sp = $am_sp->getSP(); // SimplePie object ready for use
    $sp->set_feed_url('http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot');
    $sp->set_cache_duration(3600);
    $sp->init();
    $sp->handle_content_type();
    foreach ($sp->get_items()) ...

OR

    $am_sp = new amSimplePie('http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot', 3600);
    $sp = $am_sp->getSP();
    foreach ($sp->get_items()) ...

NOTE: SimplePie 1.x does not work well when the ``E_STRICT`` error reporting
level is activated. I advise you to disable it on the fly while you are
using SimplePie.
