    Well str_temp needs some memory allocated to it to begin with.
    Say
    str_temp[30];

    Then you can do things like this
    strncpy(str_temp,&str[5],3);
    str_temp[3] = '\0';
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
