i've got problem in searching plz help me aout.
this is telephone directory program.

coding:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void info(void);
void search(void);
struct TD
{
  char name[20];
  char add[40];
  char ph[10];
  char email[20];

};
  struct TD ppl[50];
  int n=0;

void main(void)
{
  char ch;
  clrscr();
  printf ("\t\tTELEPHONE DIRECTORY\n\n");
  while (1)
   {

     printf ("\n\nType 'e' for entering the new information\n");
     printf ("Type 's' for search\n");
     printf ("Type 'q' for quit");
     ch=getche();
     switch(ch)
       {
	  case 'e':
	  info();
	  break;

	  case 's':
	  search();
	  break;

	  case 'q':
	  exit(0);

	  default:
	  printf ("Enter only the selection listed");
	}
     }
 }

void info(void)
 {
   clrscr();
   printf ("\nRecord #%d:\nEnter the name:",n+1);
   gets (ppl[n].name);
   printf ("Enter the address:");
   gets (ppl[n].add);
   printf ("Enter the telephone #:");
   gets (ppl[n].ph);
   printf ("Enter the email:");
   gets (ppl[n++].email);
 }


void search(void)
{
  int j,k,position;
  char name1[20];
  clrscr();
  if (n<1)
  printf ("Empty list\n");
  else
  printf ("\n\nEnter the name for information:");
  gets(name1);

  for ( j=0 ; j<n ; j++)
	if ( name1 == ppl[j].name)
	   {
	      printf ("\nName: %s",ppl[j].name);
	      printf ("\nAddress: %s",ppl[j].add);
	      printf ("\nPhone #: %s",ppl[j].ph);
	      printf ("\nE-mail: %s",ppl[j].email);
	    }
	 else
	     printf ("\nRecord not found");

 }

You've got several problems, the main one being a lack of code tags, edit your post with code tags and can you be more specific with your question.

>>if ( name1 == ppl[j].name)
for a start you cant compare strings like this you need to use strcmp.

[Prelude]

>void main(void)
main returns an int, nothing else.

>exit(0);
This is undefined since you don't include stdlib.h.

>if ( name1 == ppl[j].name)
This should be

if ( strcmp ( name1, ppl[j].name ) == 0 )

and you need to include string.h as well.
