set_raw_data()

class SimplePie {
	set_raw_data ( string $data )
}

Allows you to use a string of RSS/Atom data instead of a remote feed. If you have a feed available as a string in PHP, you can tell SimplePie to parse that data string instead of a remote feed. Any set feed URL takes precedence.

NOTE: If you pass a feed to SimplePie this way, SimplePie doesn't do any caching. You'll need to manage caching yourself.

• Available since SimplePie Beta 3.

A string of RSS/Atom data.
