dynamically allocate both dimensions of a 2d array

I need to know how to dynamically allocate both dimensions of a 2d array such as array[row][col]
but I do know know how to correctly do this as well as how to store info into spaces. so far I have tried...

main(){
char *array;
int row, col, rowInput, colInput;

printf("blah blah rows"\n);
scanf("%d", &rowInput);
printf("blah blah cols"\n);
scanf("%d", &colInput);

array = calloc(row*col*sizeof(char*));

for(row=0; row<rowInput; row++){
for(col=0; col<colInput; col++){
array[row][col] = '0;'
}
}
return 0;
}

Look at my reply here:

The C function allocateMatrix() will dynamically allocate memory for a two dimensional array of ints. In this example both dimensions are the same, but the code could easily be modifed to allow a different dimension for rows and collumns. The code could also be easily modifed to create an array of floats, chars, etc. There's also a sniplet from main that shows you how to declare the pointers in main and how to call allocateMatrix().

Let me know where to send the bill.
