whats wrong with this?

stringTemp[strlen(string)] = NULL;


NULL is a pointer, not a char.

Try this:

stringTemp[strlen(string)] = '\0';

I hope this isn't from actual code...

Assuming that what you want to do is write the null terminator byte on
stringTemp,
stringTemp[strlen(string)]
is indeed that byte (since the first byte is stringTemp[0] ), but strlen()
will not work (will probably crash, in fact) unless the final byte is 0
already, making it pointless to write it again.

Look again - it's two different strings: stringTemp and string.

And yes, it's horrible code - but everyone's got to start /somewhere/.
