Thread: linked list with char array HELP!

i'm writing a basic linked list program, prompting to enter (among a lot of things) a description. everything is coming out right but somehow the description is getting lost before it can be outputted. i know i'm making a basic error here, so i'm hoping someone can tell me what i'm doing wrong. here's my code, edited for the description part:

Code:

struct
{
    char descrip[25];
    node* next;
};

void InsertDescrip(char [] );
node* head=NULL;

int main()
{
char des[25];
node* current=NULL;
     cout<<"Enter description:  "<<endl;
     cin>>des;

     current= new node;
     InsertDescrip(des);
     head=current;

     cout<<"Press any key to terminate"<<endl;
     getch();
}

void InsertDescrip(char des[25] )
{
    current->descrip[25]=des[25];
    current->next=head;
}
