Nice tips, Hunter.
In the case of spaces in the filename, I think you'd need double-quotes
around $i though, as in:
/bin/ls *.php | while read i ; do echo "text" >> "$i" ; done
Also, the find command can do all that w/out the while loop at all. I
think it'd be something like this:
/bin/find ./ -name "*.php" -exec echo "processing {}" \; -exec echo
"text" >> {} \;

Although the for loop will probably work for your PHP files, I generally prefer
using a different method for processing lists of files.
/bin/ls *.php | while read i ; do echo "text">> $i ; done
This will handle files with spaces in them and gives you more flexibility with
the input list. For instance, if you have a bunch of subdirectories, you could
use find instead.
/bin/find ./ -name "*.php" | while read i ; do echo "processing $i" ; echo
"text">> $i ; done
When piping the command to a while loop like this, I use the full path to the
command (/bin/ls instead of ls) in order to prevent shell aliases from having
any effect.

one last thing:
echo 'text'>> 1.php 2.php 3.php
or
echo 'text'>> *.php
for i in *.php; do echo 'text'>>$i; done
You could also do a sed inline script to grab them all, but for i in is
simple enough syntax for me.
would be nice, but don't work any input on that? or am I to write a bash
script?
Well, the "echo 'text'>>1.php" is already a bash script :)

is it possible to simply add text to the bottom of multiple files or even
one?
Append (>>) rather than truncate (>).
for example let's say I want to add to the bottom of several files:
<?php include("../includes/footer.php"); ?> to the bottom of 1.php
echo '<?php include("../includes/footer.php"); ?>'> 1.php
echo '<?php include("../includes/footer.php"); ?>'>> 1.php
