In the latter case the server will probably crash. Create another array right after your existing one. Don't store anything in it. Do your strcat stuff and then print out both arrays afterwards. Although not guaranteed, it is reasonable to assume that the second array will be placed adjacent to the first one in memory, so even though you didn't explicitly store anything in the second array it will probably contain some text.

Oh I see, thanks!
