This finds all *.php files in your current directory . recursively and replaces "hello" with "bye" multiple times in each line it finds.

find . -name "*.php" -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i 's/hello/bye/g'

Make sure you make a backup of your current directory before you apply this.

Or alternative:

find . -name "*.php" -print0 | xargs -0 -I{} sh -c "sed 's/hello/bye/g' '{}' > '{}'.new"

This will not overwrite each file, but create a new file with the replacements, e.g. "abc.php" -> "abc.php.new".
