This takes advantage of the fact that you're renaming .php -> .php5 - that
is, the exact same filename except with a 5 tacked on.

Can't improve on this one beyond:
for f in `find . -type f -exec grep -q php '{}' \; -print`; do
Although I'd be concerned abound find going bonkers and finding all the
.bak files that had just been made. Perhaps:
#!/bin/bash
find . -type f -exec grep -q php '{}' \; -print > /tmp/PHPLIST.eoin
while read f < /tmp/PHPLIST.eoin; do
mv -iv $f $f.bak
sed 's/php/php5/g' $f.bak > $f
done
rm /tmp/PHPLIST.eoin
Note that under Solaris, to get grep -q to work, you need to usr
/usr/xpg4/bin/grep, not the normal grep. This also assumes that none of
your files have spaces in the name. If they do, you can try to make the
find command do it all with multiple -exec commands, but I am concerned
about the .bak files making trouble.
