CODE

#include <stdio.h>

struct detail
{
    char name[40];
    int phonenum;
};

void main()
{
    
    struct detail aPerson;
    FILE *fp;
    fp = fopen("C:\\Database.txt", "a+");

    printf("Enter his name: ");
    scanf(" %s", aPerson.name);

    printf("Enter his phone number: ");
    scanf(" %d", &aPerson.phonenum);

    fwrite(&aPerson, sizeof aPerson, 1, fp);
    printf("Details saved!\n");
    fclose(fp);
    
    system("PAUSE");
}


I have a problem here. I could only save the person's name into the text file but not the person's phone number.

it should be saving both. Keep in mind that it is not going to write out the text for the structure, it is going to write it out in binary. That means that when you look at the file in say notepad you will see the persons name, but then some strange symbols for the phone number.

Try reading the file back in.
