cin.ignore(1000,'\n');
Don't need that for getline().

okie. but without the cin.ignore(1000,'\n') the output will be lik below.
Name        : husdarin merah

Nationality : indian
I/C number  : 1289563-3264
Address     : central of india
 Check your details .
Name        : husdarin merah
Nationality :
I/C number  : indian
Address     : 1289563-3264
Press any key to continue

why become lik tis one ? the output is totally unmatch with wat i input. Then i still have to enter twice after the 1st getline();

I removed all those cin.ignore() lines and it worked fine for me.. set up exactly how you wanted it to.

Other than that problem.. i've found that you've written out of an array's bounds -
plane s1[3]; for(int i = 1; i <= 3; i++)
You're accessing s1[3] when it ends at 2.
When you get to 3 in your for() loop, your program will break.
To fix this error, change your for() loop -
for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++) //access 0 first, then 1, then 2
Remember - array indexing starts at 0.

Fixed the probs. Act is not my source code prob. there is a bug on the getline for microsoft visual c++ 6.0 . So, anyone facing the same problem as me. Please kindly refer to this. http://www.edcc.edu/faculty/paul.bladek/getline_fix.htm
