How to support PHP variables with exec command?

Hello I am sending mail from php. I am fetching to address and cc address from database and storing them in one one variable. $to,$cc i need to use this in mailx command. Following query is hardcoded and its working.

 exec('echo "hey i am there" | mailx -S smtp=10.0.8.8:25 -r [email protected] -s "Alert" [email protected]');

Need to replace 

 $message = hey i am there
 [email protected]
 $from [email protected] 
 $subject = Alert

exec('echo $message | mailx -S smtp=10.0.8.8:25 -r $from  -s $subject $to');

But the above thing is not working

You should concatenate your strings.

exec('echo ' . $message . ' | mailx -S smtp=10.0.8.8:25 -r ' . $from . ' -s ' . $subject . ' ' . $to);

Just change ' to " like 

exec("echo $message | mailx -S smtp=10.0.8.8:25 -r $from  -s $subject $to");
