string contents into structure help

I have this problem where I want a persons name to be put into a structure. I have written the code like this but my compiler is telling me "Lvalue" is required. I dont know how to rectify this, can anyone tell me what I've done wrong?? Thanks in advance.

Code:

---


typedef struct
{
                   
    char name[40];       
             
} details_t;



int main (void)

{
details_t person;


char name [40];

printf("\nPlease enter the persons name: ");
fflush(stdin);
gets(name);

name = person.name;


fflush(stdin);
getc(stdin);
return 0;
}

---

You use strcpy to copy strings.

thanks, It works now.

fflush(stdin); is undefined - see FAQ
gets(name); - should not be used - see FAQ

you should indent your code
