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";
$mail->Subject = $formname . ' - ' . $inquirytype;

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

Any advise? Thanks.

$mail->SMTPAuth   = true;                  // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Host       = "mail.yourdomain.com"; // sets the SMTP server
$mail->Port       = 25;                    // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username   = "yourname@yourdomain"; // SMTP account username
$mail->Password   = "yourpassword";        // SMTP account password

$mail->SetFrom('name@yourdomain.com', 'First Last');

$mail->AddReplyTo("name@yourdomain.com","First Last");
