Char [] on uint64_t

I am trying to convert an array charto uint64_t, but it does not work. Here is my code:

char input[8];
//Initialisation of input
int i,j;
uint64_t paquet=0;
for(i = 0; i < 8; i++)
{
    for(j = 0; j < 8; j++)
    {
        paquet+= (input[i] >> j) & 0x01;
        paquet = paquet << 1;
    }
}

Assuming the buffer inputsaved the data in a small endian view , which means that the least significant byte is at the lowest address and the highest byte at the highest address, you can do something like the following.

#include <stdio.h>

#define __STDC_FORMAT_MACROS
#include <inttypes.h>

int main(void) 
{
    int i;
    unsigned char input[8] = {0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x5, 0x06, 0x07, 0x08 };
    uint64_t paquet = 0;
    for( i = 7; i >= 0; --i )
    {
        paquet <<= 8;
        paquet |= (uint64_t)input[i];
    }

    printf("0x%" PRIx64 "\n", paquet);

    return 0;
}

You can see a working example of ideone .

If the buffer is stored in large end mode, then the reverse cycle.

Thanks to m24p for pointing out the error in my original project.

Maybe this?

uint64_t paquet = input[0]<<(8*7) | input[1]<<(8*6)
                                  | input[2]<<(8*5)
                                  | input[3]<<(8*4)
                                  | input[4]<<(8*3)
                                  | input[5]<<(8*2)
                                  | input[6]<<(8*1)
                                  | input[7];

char input[8] = "\x01\x23\x45\x67\x89\xAB\xCD\xEF";
uint64_t paquet = *(uint64_t*)"\x1\x0\x0\x0\x0\x0\x0\x0";

if(paquet == 1){
    //reverse
    char *f=&input[0], *b=&input[7];
    while(f<b){
        char tmp = *f;
        *f++ = *b;
        *b-- = tmp;
    }
}
paquet = *(uint64_t*)input;//memcpy(&paquet, input, sizeof(input));
