The original code was intended to document how the protocol works and provide access to it using php. The code was very poorly written and made heavy use of the $GLOBALS superglobal to access  variables by doing stuff like this "$GLOBALS[$m_name]->my_method" blah blah blah and did not use proper OOP methodology mostly because it was not available at that time. Ironically the mumps database names its database objects globals! which made reading the code even more confusing .

A good hint, you could have said this in the first post, because it explains a lot.

MUMPS is "persistent global variables" as I read it. Maybe you could use the
array_walk* functions to search the global data, and use the newest closure with
"use" keyword to parametrize your search.
