Help with a line of code please

[Zayl]

I am having a problem with line 41 in this code and i cant figure out why. It should work according to other people.

 

<?php

    $World = simplexml_load_file("gameworld.xml");

    $CurrentPos = 0;

    $Done = 0;

    print "\n";

    printplace() ;

 

    function printplace() {

        GLOBAL $World, $CurrentPos;

        $Room = $World->ROOM[$CurrentPos];

        $Name = $Room->NAME;

        $Desc = wordwrap((string)$Room->DESC);

        print "$Name\n";

        print str_repeat('-', strlen($Name));

        print "\n$Desc\n\n";

 

        if ((string)$Room->NORTH != '-') {

            $index = (int)$Room->NORTH;

            print "North: {$World->ROOM[$index]->NAME}\n";

        }

 

        if ((string)$Room->SOUTH != '-') {

            $index = (int)$Room->SOUTH;

            print "South: {$World->ROOM[$index]->NAME}\n";

        }

 

        if ((string)$World->ROOM[$CurrentPos]->WEST != '-') {

            $index = (int)$Room->WEST;

            print "West: {$World->ROOM[$index]->NAME}\n";

        }

 

        if ((string)$World->ROOM[$CurrentPos]->EAST != '-') {

            $index = (int)$Room->EAST;

            print "East: {$World->ROOM[$index]->NAME}\n";

        }

 

        print "\n";

    }

 

    while (!$Done) {

        $input = fgets(STDIN);

        print "\n"; // add another line break after the user input

 

        $input = split(' ', $input);

 

        switch(trim($input[0])) {

            case 'north':

                if ((string)$World->ROOM[$CurrentPos]->NORTH != '-') {

                    $CurrentPos = (int)$World->ROOM[$CurrentPos]->NORTH;

                    printplace() ;

                } else {

                    print "You cannot go north!\n";

                }

                break;

            case 'south':

                if ((string)$World->ROOM[$CurrentPos]->SOUTH != '-') {

                    $CurrentPos = (int)$World->ROOM[$CurrentPos]->SOUTH;

                    printplace() ;

                } else {

                    print "You cannot go south!\n";

                }

                break;

            case 'west':

                if ((string)$World->ROOM[$CurrentPos]->WEST != '-') {

                    $CurrentPos = (int)$World->ROOM[$CurrentPos]->WEST;

                    printplace() ;

                } else {

                    print "You cannot go west!\n";

                }

                break;

            case 'east':

                if ((string)$World->ROOM[$CurrentPos]->EAST != '-') {

                    $CurrentPos = (int)$World->ROOM[$CurrentPos]->EAST;

                    printplace() ;

                } else {

                    print "You cannot go east!\n";

                }

                break;

            case 'look':

                printplace() ;

                break;

            case 'quit':

                $Done = 1;

                break;

        }

    }

 

    print "\nThanks for playing!\n\n";

?>

STDIN is not a resource handle. Read the manual on how to use this function
