You don't need the nested echoes. Just concatenate instead:

echo '<br /><br />
       <form method="post" action="sendemail.php">
       <label for="subject">Subject of email:</label><br />
       <input id="subject" name="subject" type="text" value="' . $subject . 
'"><br />
       <label for="elvismail">Body of email:</label><br />
       <textarea id="elvismail" name="elvismail" rows="8"
cols="40">"' . $text . '"       </textarea><br />
       <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
       </form>';

In short you're doing this :

echo 'Some HTML text here ' . $subject . ' some more HTML text ' . $text . ' 
and finally other stuff here';
