Problem with godaddy purchase.

Today i faced a great trouble when i purchase a plan in godaddy. I want to host some website so i went to godaddy.in and i follow their step by step rule to checkout the package.
My plan was unlimited Linux hosting. It costs around 5399INR. I completed all steps successfully and money is successfully transferred from my bank account. But i was confused, how can i logging to my control panel?
while following the steps, they never asked username or password. I just checked my email, yeah!! i got a mail from goddady about my credential. I wondered, username is my friends name... :-o I called him, and i knew that
he used my machine one week ago, so godday site added my purchase to his account... what a  great system?? I think i lost my money.. I just called to their support.. a lady answered. She could understand my problem and she told me to cancel my package, so that they can
refund my money back. My friend was very broad minded, even though his server contains lot of confidential files, he gave his username, password and pin. I signed in to his account and removed my new purchase from that account and followed the steps as per the executive said.

At last they told me that money will reach my account through my credit card with in 6-7 working days. I wondered i don't have a credit card. :-( . she replied that have no facility to send money back through net banking.. :( now a days small mobile recharging portal have that facility. They will refund even 10 rupees to 1000 or more.
then what is the solution??hmm she told me that they will send a cheque to my billing address, this may take 4-6 weeks (OMG, 4-6 weeks or months... no wonder...)

But she didn't forget to add removed order to my new account, she told me to continue with purchase... but my remaining balance was 80rupees... how can i purchase.. she gave a smile.. that hurts me :(
anyway i am waiting for my cheque.

Wamp Installation Error

“Aestan Tray Menu has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.” This is a common error, familiar for wamp admins. Once I have met with this error and i tried several methods to solve it, but everything got failed. Finally i found the solution.

The Problem is your windows machine may not have proper/latest dotNet framework. I downloaded it and installed framework and reinstalled WAMP. Wamp loaded fine.

Before Installing WAMP make sure that you uninstalled old versions.

How to take values associated with radio buttons & Check box in PHP

There is a big confusion in some freshers that how to take  values associated with radio button as well as check box in PHP. Here is the piece of code that helps to do so.

cricket <input type='radio' name='radio' id='radio1' value='cricket' />
football <input type='radio' name='radio' id='radio2' value='football' />

<?php
    $val = $_POST['radio'];
    echo $val;
?>

this code will print the opted input radio.

football <input type='checkbox' name='check[]' id='check2' value='football' />
tennis <input type='checkbox' name='check[]' id='check3' value='tennis' />
