[Wanted420]

When I run the program and tell for a new customer is couts the the "Please enter Name" but does allow my to input anything. It also does this on the "Please enter phone number". Thanks for any help that i can get. I put the code tags hopes i did it right.

<code>
#include <iostream.h>



int main()
{

	char address[70];
	char name[50];
	char phone[20];
	char description[200];
	double total;
	int zip;
	int correct=2;
	int id=0000;
	int id2;
	int option;
	int quanf=1;
	int quan46=1;
	int qaun57=1;
	int quan810=1;
	int quanf57=1;
	double pricef;
	double price46;
	double price57;
	double price810;
	double pricef57;
	double product[10];
	
cout<<"Welcome to my first Register Program\n";
cout<<"*******Good Luck Today*******\n";

for (int i=0;i<100;i++)
{
cout<<"Please chose an option:\n";
cout<<"(1)New Customer\n(2)Previos Customer\n(3)Exit\n";
cin>>option;

switch(option)
{
	case 1:
		while(correct==2)
		{
			cout<<"Please enter name:\n";
			cin.getline(name, 50, '\n');

This is as good an explanation as I've seen.

The link you listed doesn't seem to work.

You would think they would explain this problem in beginning C++ texts, but they don't. Try clicking on number 4 here for an explanation:
