Problem with string input to a structure array

[Kvothere]

I wrote this program to help me create a list of medical resources and their attributes, a task I have been performing repeatedly lately. I'm still fairly new to C++, so I thought to create a structure "Resource", and then an array of those structures "city[300]". My problem is that the input doesn't seem to be happening: the program runs, but when it prints to screen/writes to the file at the end, all the shows is:

Resource Type:
Name:
Address:
Phone:
Website:

for every resource that was input. All the fields are blank. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, please help.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

struct Resource
{
    string typeID;
    string name;
    string address;
    string phone;
    string website;
    string description;

};

int main()
{
    Resource city[300];

    bool next = true;
    int i = 0;

    while(next)
    {
        cout << "\nType ID: ";
        getline(cin,city[i].typeID) ;
        cout << "Name: ";
        getline(cin,city[i].name) ;
        cout << "Address: ";
        getline(cin,city[i].address) ;
        cout << "Phone: ";
        getline(cin,city[i].phone) ;
        cout << "Website: ";
        getline(cin,city[i].website) ;
        cout << "Description: ";
        getline(cin,city[i].description) ;
        i++;

        cout << "\nContinue? :";
        cin >> next;
        cout << endl << endl;

    }

    ofstream myfile("sanmateo.txt");
    for (int j=0;j<i;j++)
    {
        cout << "\nResource Type: " << city[i].typeID;
        cout << "\nName: " << city[i].name;
        cout << "\nAdress: " << city[i].address;
        cout << "\nPhone: " << city[i].phone;
        cout << "\nWebsite: " << city[i].website;
        cout << "\n" << city[i].description;
        cout << "\n\n";

        myfile << "\nResource Type: " << city[i].typeID;
        myfile << "\nName: " << city[i].name;
        myfile << "\nAdress: " << city[i].address;
        myfile << "\nPhone: " << city[i].phone;
        myfile << "\nWebsite: " << city[i].website;
        myfile << "\n" << city[i].description;
        myfile << "\n\n";
    }
    myfile.close();

    return 0;
}

add cin.ignore() after cin >> next

http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/76273/#msg409534


and a minor suggestion :
a safer version of the while loop :

while ( next )
{
    // ... codes
    
    if ( ++i == 300 ) break;

    // ...

}

just in case the user wants to enter more than 300 entries

[giblit]

if ( ++i == 300 ) break;

Why not instead change the while loop to one of these:

while(next && i < 300)
//or
for(int i = 0; i < 300 && next; ++i)

[nvrmnd]

oh yes, why didn't i think of that ://

Alternately, use std::vector or std::deque. This allows for the size to keep growing indefinitely, and prevents wasted memory for small numbers:

#include <vector>
// ...

int main() {
    std::vector<Resource> city;
    bool next = true;

    while (next) {
        Resource temp;
        std::cout << "\nType ID: ";
        std::getline(std::cin, temp.typeID);
        std::cout << "Name: ";
        std::getline(std::cin, temp.name);
        // etc...

        city.push_back(temp);
        std::cout << "Continue? ";
        std::cin >> next;
        std::cin.ignore(std::numeric_limits<std::streamsize>::max(), '\n');
        std::cout << "\n\n";
    }

    std::ofstream myfile("...");
    for (Resource res : city) {
        std::cout << "\nResource Type: " << res.typeID;
        std::cout << "\nName: " << res.name;
        // etc...
    }

    return 0;
}

Note that you will need a C++11 compliant compiler to compile this (all modern compilers are), if you don't have one change the last for loop to:
for (std::vector<Resource>::const_iterator it = city.cbegin(); it != city.cend(); ++it)
And change all the . 's to -> (e.g. std::cout << "\nResource Type: " << it->typeID;)
