C Conversion from binary to decimal

[n3red]

I have Google'd and all i found was outdated, buggy or not working
source samples. Here is what i tried but i have a bit of a problem:

void toDecimal(char bin[]){
     int i, d = 0;
     int l = strlen(bin)-1;
     int x = 1;
     for(i = 0; i < l; i++){
        int a = (bin[i] - '0');
        x *= 2;
        d = d + a * x;
        //printf("%d",d); This will just print out 1222222
        //printf("%d",x); This will just print out 1 2 4 8 16 ..
     }
}

int main(){
  toDecimal("10000001");

}

It makes more sense to work from the least significant bit (assuming your string isn't reversed), in my opinion:

#include <string.h>

int to_int(const char *bin, int *result)
{
    size_t len = strlen(bin);
    int bit_value = 1;
    int temp = 0;

    if (len > 32)
        return 0;

    while (--len < (size_t)-1) {
        int digit = bin[len] - '0';

        temp += bit_value * digit;
        bit_value *= 2;
    }

    *result = temp;

    return 1;
}
