* Using YQL Component for CakePHP:
* 1. Save the component in app/controller/component
* 2. Push it in your controller's $components array: public $components = array('Yql');
* 3. Use the run function like so $this->Yql->run($query);
*
* Example:
* pr($this->Yql->run('select * from yahoo.finance.stock where symbol="yhoo"'));
*
