How to send multiple inputs from form to email via php script

So I have this little php script which upon form completion sends the information to my email. I was able to make it work with one input, however, when trying to specify 3 different inputs, it won't go through.

I suspect that maybe I'm not specifying the inputs as I should with isset at the beginning of the if statement. I'm very new to php and appreciate all the help I can get, anyway here's the code. 

       <?php

    if (isset($_POST['name' && 'emailq' && 'message'])){
  $visitor_name = $_POST['name'];
  $visitor_email = $_POST['emailq'];
  $visitor_message = $_POST['message'];

  $email_from = "LightDesigns";
  $email_subject = "new quot";
  $email_body = "Name: " .$visitor_name."\nEmail: " .$visitor_email."\n\n" 
 .$visitor_message;

  $to = "[email protected]";
  $headers = "From: $email_from \r\n";
  $headers .= "Reply-To: $visitor_email \r\n";
  $result = mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
}
?>

<?php
$link_address = 'www.light-designsonline.co.uk';
if ($result){
    echo '<link href="css/phpcss.css" rel="stylesheet">';
    echo "<header></header>";
    echo '<h1>Thank You!</h1>';
    echo "<p>I'll get in contact with you shortly.</p>";

 }else{
    echo '<link href="css/phpcss.css" rel="stylesheet">';
    echo "<header></header>";
  ?>
  }
 <?php
  }
?>

<form action="quotform.php" method="POST" class="quote" name="quot">
        <div>
        <h1>Get a quot</h1>
        <hr align="left" style="width: 82%;">
            <label>Name</label><br>
            <input type="text" placeholder="Name" class="form" autocomplete required name="name">
                </div>
                    <div>
                        <label>Email</label><br>
                        <input type="email" placeholder="Email Address" class="form" autocomplete required name="emailq"> 
                    </div>
                <div>
            <label>Message</label><br>
            <textarea placeholder="Message" name="message"></textarea>
        </div>
            <button class="button_1" type="submit" class="form"><span>Send</span></button>
    </form>

it's wrong

if (isset($_POST['name' && 'emailq' && 'message'])){

it means to AND together 'name', 'emailq' and 'message' values, which will be a logical TRUE and checked if the $_POST array has a value with the key TRUE

what you need is 

if (isset($_POST['name']) && isset($_POST['emailq']) && isset($_POST['message'])){

or you could use

if (isset($_POST['name'], $_POST['emailq'],$_POST['message'])){

as mentioned by Magnus Eriksson

each has to be a separate logical expression which are then ANDed together

You should check for those fields this way:

if (   isset($_POST['name'])
    && isset($_POST['emailq'])
    && isset($_POST['message'])) {
    //...
}

OR even use an array: Name you input fields like this: name="input[name]" and name="input[mail]" and so on. Then you can access the input array via $_POST['input'], which is much cleaner.

You need to check inputs separately like in the code below.

if (isset($_POST['name']) && isset($_POST['emailq']) && isset($_POST['message']))
