string problems

I'm trying to covert a string to all lowercase using

tolower(text);

but when i try and compile it I get two errors.
1. invlaid conversion from 'char*' to 'int'
2. initializing argument 1 of 'int tolower(int)'

can someone suggest a fix?

thanks

The function tolower expects a character (which is also an int in c) not a character string. You will need to iterate through the character string passing each character into the tolower function and using what is returned to build a new string which will be all lower case.
