alternate to string.data()

I was having an error, the ilLoadImage function wont take a const char*, only a char*, so i fixed it like this. Is there another way to do it? I removed all the other stuff from the funtion so you can read it easily.

Code:

---

unsigned int cRenderEngine::LoadTexture(string path, short size) {

        --code--

        char * temp = new char[path.length()];
        for(int i = 0; i < path.length(); i++)
                temp[i] = path[i];       
        ilLoadImage(temp);

        --code--

}

Use strcpy in <cstdlib>

Code:

---

char* temp = new char[path.length() + 1];
strcpy(temp, path.c_str());
ilLoadImage(temp);
delete [] temp;
