Help please im stuck

Hi guys...having problems with a project...its supposed to add names and email addresses but when i go to add a third it falls over....
Its driving me mental..lol

Code:

Any ideas appreciated

Code:

---

cdata = malloc(30);

---

Start by changing that line to: cdata = malloc( sizeof(cdata) );

Also, you need a break in the first switch case. That's all I can see for the moment.

[EDIT]
Oh man, check out your init functions, they are bad. As you are sending a pointer, there is no need to return the value.

In fact, you don't need to send it at all, as head is declared a global variable.

Also, you are using the 'new' keyword which is not used in C.

And it would also help if you posted the complete code. :)

Basically, the code is a bit of a mess. :(

Sorry guys have edited to show the latest version i had before you guys posted.
I know its all over place but im new to this so please be patient ;)

Well, your add() function is completely munted. I think you need to break the program up and tackle each problem one at a time. From here it looks like you just jumped right in and started writing bits and pieces all over the place.

What you need to do is step through the code logically and find the obvious errors first and then ask for help with a specific area rather than the whole project. :)

[EDIT]
And if you are new to this, then I'd suggest leaving linked lists for another day and start with simpler applications of structs and dynamic memory allocation.

Thanks for the pointers guys (no pun inteded :))....started from fresh and managed to get it sorted......been at college (night classes) and have had 4 different lecturers this year with vairying knowlage....feel like ive learned nothing.....so please be gentle with me when i post something stupid again :)
The help here is appreciated

Just a quick point when i input a name it only sees the first name but not the second ie

"Enter Customer Name to add to record" i add billy bob but when you display the record only billy shows
any ideas?

Code:

---

          printf("Enter Customer Name to add to record \n");
          scanf("%s",cdata->cname);
                  fflush ( stdin );
          printf("Enter Number of Orders required to add to record \n");
          scanf("%d",&cdata->numoforders);
                  fflush ( stdin );
          return cdata;

---

Using scanf with the %s modifier will scan input until it detects a space, tab or newline character. Try using fgets instead, you can find it in the faq on this site. :)
