PHP does not like array values inside of strings ...
You can do several things here. Replace $q1 .= "$_REQUEST['text']\n" ; with ...

 php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
$q1 .= "{$_REQUEST['text']}\n"
// ... or ...
$q1 .= $_REQUEST['text']."\n";
$q1 .= "{$_REQUEST['text']}\n"
// ... or ...
$q1 .= $_REQUEST['text']."\n";

Hope this helps

Google is the answer to all of your questions -- the trick is knowing what question to ask in your specific predicament.
