$_REQUEST is a superglobal, so it's accessible at any scope. You may
have a typo: Try $_REQUEST instead of REQUEST. You might also set
error_reporting(E_ALL) to potentially catch some errors.

If you want just query string parameters, you could use $_GET instead
of $_REQUEST. There's also $_POST for posted variables.
