PHP

getting weird mailtodisk.exe popup error

After following the video in the "setting an error message variable" section, when I try to view the contact.php page in my browser, I get this weird popup saying "mailtodisk.exe - No Disk: There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into dirve \device\Harddisk3\DR3." I figured I did something wrong and kept going over the video again and again... but even after simply trying to instead view the treehouse contact page on my browser, i get the same popup message. Why is this happening?

Your PHP install must be configured to use mailtodisk.exe

You can check you php.ini file - it should have a configuration for the mailer. You can either fix the path or change it to something like gmail or another mail provider.
