value of array of pointers to struct changes when exiting loop

Question

phonebook is an array of pointers.

inside the handleMenu im allocating memory and pointing to structure where a first name is assigned to a struct that is pointed from phonebook[11].

as you can see in line 54, the name is assigned correctly and the program remembers it when exiting the handleMenu function, and i can access the details of the structure.

but after going down 1 line and ending the main while loop, the value suddenly changes.

what causes it and how to solve it? i want to remember the address to the structure but it seems that it wont save.

thanks in advance!

check this first:while(option < 1 && 7 < option) this condition will never happen! be sure from this. when you trying to assign array of pointer type structs it should be allocated first .
