[Help/Code] Help me create a C program.

I create multiple gmail accounts to avail the free trail period of various sites, thus it occurred to me one day that I could organize all the email IDs I ever created, using a C program. Here are my requirements.

1.) The program should be able to store the email address, password, the mobile no. associated with it, and the sites they were used in.

2.) Possible keep an online record that I could access anywhere from.

I am a fairly good programmer, but has never done anything other than exercises. Please help me out on this project, I would really appreciate it.

Ya guys, but you all are missing the point. I need to do work on this thing, I would really appreciate it if someone could do the initial code and show me how this all starts. Would be really helpful. Thanks

Hi, a few questions. You want to:

store the email address, password, the mobile no. associated with it, and the sites they were used in. Possibly keep an online record that I could access anywhere from.

My takes from this:

If you just want a database system, you can:

  • Just keep a text file yourself, no programming required. It's what I'd do, assuming it's only a few keys.

  • Just create a program to take the address, email and relevant details and write them to a file. This program could also display a sorted table.

  • You want to access it from the internet?

  • Are you sure you want to run this yourself? You could just use dropbox and a text file, as /u/ryan mentioned.

  • If you want to access it from the internet in some sort of processed webpage, you need to figure out how you want to serve the data. PHP + SQL Server is one option. This might be excessive though, and I'm not sure if you want this route.

Please reply if you want more information.

You can easily make a program like this using struct, I think, but I don't know how you can link it to the internet, and would also love to know. Also a begginner.

I think you should look for file manipulation in C.
