Concatenate mail subject in PHP mailer

I have a form for users to submit their inquiry which will be sent as an email. As users are able to select their inquiry type, i wish to concatenate the inquiry type into the subject of the email.

$formname = "Website Inquiry Form";
$inquirytype = "Books";

When I submitted the form, I got this error, Mailer Error: SMTP Error: data not accepted.

Any advise? Thanks.
